Termite fumigators broke my skylight. Should they be fixing it?

I live in the Bay area. I had my house tented and fumigated for termites 2 days ago. I signed a roof release that states the company will not be responsible for damage on the roof or any fittings on the roof. Skylights are listed on the roof release.

Even so, it looks like the damage is due to negligence as the skylight is shattered. It looks like someone stepped on it or dropped something on it. (I.e doesn't seem like an uncontrollable consequence due to the tenting). The worst is they did not even notify me of the damage. If I had not randomly looked up at the skylight, I would have only found out if it rained.

Do I have any recourse to get them to fix it?

It already cost a lot to get the fumigation done and on top of that, I have to now fork out extra dough to fix the damage they did.

Seems pretty clear that the release you signed holds them harmless for damages.
