Bit of a Problem...

[RePT]

Hi there,

as some of you know I was hit by a car a week into my insurance, which lead to the third party claimining whip lash on my insurance(3/4 people).

The collision, wasnt that bad for the car, but I suffered injuries.

I was going 8-10mph, he was going 3-4mph when he swereved into my path.

he also pulled up fake witnesses /facepalm.


anyway...

When trying to get car insurance quotes, im either getting rejected or being asked to pay a shit load, because the case is still in dispute.

I cant cancel my bike policy, because there is a claim.

I cant upgrade my 125 to a 600cc without taking out a new policy.

What do you guys suggest for me?

Thank you.

More to the point. What the hell are your insurance doing even entertaining a claim for whiplash after a collision between a 125 and a car?

So you hit a car with a speed difference of 5mph on a 125 and they are trying to claim for whiplash...


I am surprised they even noticed it.

Was the car even damaged beyond the bumper?

Not a very good insurance company.
You should be claiming for your damaged bike & injuries, was the incident reported to the police ??
Statements taken at the time ??
Road accidents involving injury must be reported as far as I'm aware so what does the police report say ??

You were hit by the car and they are claiming off you?

Time to get a solicitor i think.

this country really has gone for a shit. Cant stand this compensation culture.
Insurance is just getting more and more expensive for the decent honest people which just sucks balls.
The most frustrating bit is there is nothing we can do about it

I have a solicitor, the accident was in small heath birmingham...

here is a picture of damage to the third party's vehicle:

my solicitors are arranging a doctor visit for me.

I've told them about the witnesses being fake, as none of them were at the scene.

I've yet to tell them how the whiplash claims are fraudlent and being using as means of profit.

wont forget to comment how "small heath birmingham is always on TV, with people doing insurance scams etcetc"

all in good time

Well, if you've been stitched up, you've been stitched up. However, it's got to be worthwhile contacting the cager's insurers or solicitors directly and saying (feel free to be frank) that since their clients are lying toerags who doubtless have a history of dodgy claims or other offences of deception, that they can stop nobbing around right now and make at least an interim payout.

T.C. might be able to advise, but personally I'd be inclined to tell the solicitors and insurers to all do one and get it before a court so that it gets sorted out one way or the other.

Yep, should probably do that..

this is the first time ive been involved in a legal case like this though, and Im 19 years old so I have no idea how it works.

Just left a message for my solicitor..basically said 'hope your not even considering their claims against me, i believe of them to be fraudlent and a means of profit, considering i was the biker, and they were in a vehicle.'

Hopefully she'll get back to me when shes back in office ¬.¬

This has been going on since June ;o..such a long process :@

[Radis]

Good luck!

I have my court date set in December for when some dozy bint crashed into me at a roundabout over a year and a half ago. She decided to sue so I had to counter sue. Bet it goes knock for knock. Anwho, the points I was going to make were:

It will take longer than you ever imagined.

It won't be worth whatever the payout is to either party once compared to the time waisted and the grief caused.

Insurance will rape you.

I managed to insure my car for another year after the incident but this renewal I couldn't afford it and the bike so declared the car SORN and put it on a friends private road for now. Even though the incident happened to me in a car I have to declare it on my insurance for the bike and as it isn't settled yet it has to go down as a fault claim apparently. Frikkin huge insurance quotes.

Hope your solicitor team are better/quicker than mine!

[kerr]

for holy fuck sake, you have to squint to see the damage on the car, fucking boils my piss when people try to dodge there own mistake.
I take it you have the third party's statement? which will have there address etc obviously after everything is settled

How the hell do you get whiplash from hitting something on the front offside of the car, unless you hit a wall?!

Plus that car looks like it has been detailed - who treats a bog standard Honda Civic like that?

Somethings not right here....
