A long long time ago on a road far far away, I was taken out by an idiot lane twitching whilst filtering slowly between grid locked traffic. Bit of damage to bike, bust a rip and had a couple of bruises, but overall not super bad. Fast forward 18 months, personal injury claim gone in, been waiting for a court date, but just heard I will get a 'disposal hearing' in August to decide damages, no need to attend.

So, what's the deal here?
Does this mean liability has been assigned? Or will that still happen in this hearing? Or will the hearing just be to decided a sum of moneys?
Anyone ended up down this route before?

What do your solicitors have to say about it?

Have quizzed them, just awaiting reply. Thought I'd just ask on here too, in case its a pretty standard thing.

Has a section about disposal hearings. Looks like they have accepted fault, but are disputing costs.

From whom?

Says who?

My understanding is that it's traditionally been a case of both sides' parasites handing paper to the judge and saying "more" / "less", but the guilty party's parasite could challenge you to strip your sleeve and show your scars, so to speak.

Probably all right, but they are contesting the amount so I wouldn't rule out shenanigans.

Heard from my solicitors. No need to attend, says same letter from my solicitor. They've put another lot in touch with me to garner a further detailed statement from myself and my wife (why?) to provide additional details to judge. They've already had my medical history from local GP seen at time and I've been sent to private doc to confirm my story and that I've now fully recovered.

Guess there's not much more I can do other than wait and see what comes our of the hearing.
