Lawyers for my 125 accident

[m0l0t0v]

Well last year in March I got knocked off my 125 (which is a write off) when I got SMIDSY'd when it was a green light for me

Anyhow, I have 4 witnesses and she's down as 100% at fault as she was charged with Driving without due care and attention and her insurance company have already sent me one cheque which only came up to £300. They also mentioned it was the "agreed settlement" even though I didn't agree to anything. We sent the cheque back as it was not enough. Got a letter a couple of weeks ago saying thanks for the letter dating "October 2007" and that the £300 was only for the bike (which is more than I thought I would get for it tbh as i's a piece of shit Chinese crap). Other thing is that I will be claiming for my gear lost (helmet, leathers, etc) and a holiday to Austria (snowboarding) that I couldn't really enjoy due to my back hurting a lot.

Now my grandad said we could aim for around £5k (he is a lawyer but I think that's too much) and after ringing up my insurance company to tell them everything they just said "well what do you want us to do?" Meh.

Basically I'm asking for help on who to give a ring to and who you've had experiences with and if you'd recommend or not. A couple of people have said Citizens advice but I'm wondering if there's any actual Bike expert lawyers (seem to remember there being one).

Her insurance company said I need someone to represent me to ask what I want or something along the lines and since it's a pretty much shut case I want to gain as much as possible.

Much love

Typical payout for whiplash is £3k, so I guess that would be a reasonable amount to accept. The lower the figure you ask for, the easier and quicker you will find them paying it out.

You do need a lawyer by the sounds of it. Do you not have legal cover with your insurance? This is precisely what you pay that for.

As it isn't a big money claim and there isn't a liability issue give any lawyer a ring. Remember that if you are claiming for injuries you need medical evidence.

Hello mate
As you had no experianced answers yet just thought I would keep you company.
Did bike insurance have no legal protection with it; this can be a differant company so would have to contact them?
If in a Union at work sometimes they can help with legal matters, especially if on route to work when happened.
Any other legal cover with house insurance maybe.
If not then maybe worth a chat with solicitor, normally can get 30 mins at small fee, and as only be letter based claim might be worth it and he can claim his fee back from them.
Maybe AA/RAC can give you some direction.
Hopefully someone will see this and have experiance.
Good luck

Had experience with them and would recommend them.

You've seen a doctor about your back so that should be all evidence you need. Nice easy case. One of those no win no fee lawyers would defo take it on.

[m0l0t0v]

Thank you everyone.

I'm a full time student so no union really but I missed a few days of college. No legal cover or anything apparently.

And thanks Ste, will look into them

He has three years to claim for a personal injury. Your saying that he won't get a penny for having back pain on his holiday? Your talking out of your hoop.
