Zurich insurance

[dextersaurus]

Well as most of you know, i'm still waiting on my insurance moneys coming through.

Everything has been sent off, i've had the offer for the bike/gear/services....

Now i'm waiting on the money for my injuries to be looked at.

Now, it's been 2 months since the last contact, and my solicitor said he's called numerous times, emailed, faxed, sent letters telling them that it's getting rediculous and the case should have been solved by now, but no. nothing.

They offered no courtesy bike, so i'm struggling without transport, and the best they've offered so far is the CBT to help with getting back on the road.

Anyone had any experiences with zurich before? from waht i've heard, their claims are rediculous.

Cheers

Injury claims take forever unfortunately - probably 18 months. If you've had the offer for the bike and gear, and you're happy with that then why not take a cheque as an interim payment for the time being?

It only comes to £775.... Which would cover my kit....

I suppose i could work with it, and get something but it's not much money.

Not even a courtesy bike though which sucks.

When I was knocked off by a driver who was with Zurich insurance my solicitors got me a courtesy bike within four days and picked my bike up at the same time. Zurich made an interim payment for the written off bike within two weeks to save courtesy bike costs and storing my scrapped bike.

They did however take about eight months to pay for the injuries and 16months to pay for my damaged gear.

I meant the medical report, they have the copy of it, and so i'm waiting on them making an offer.

I've emailed the solicitor again about securing the money, it'll get the CG running at least...

Zurich can get fucked twice up the bum (no lube) after laying my missus and her whole department off despite them having almost more working coming in than they could deal with. That is all.

I've seen the specialist etc, they've got my medical records too...

I was told there was nothing else that needs done on my part as they have the full details of my injuries from the medical specialist...

Ahh I see. So i'll be waiting on contact from them about seeing one of their specialists?

Yeah, i got a letter from them saying he had admitted full liability (he did to the police right after the crash as well).

I've spoken to the solicitor, waiting on a reply now... i'll see what he says about the interim payment.

Cheers

The driver admitting liability isn't the same as the insurance company formally admitting liability. But hopefully that's what the letter you had was.

Hypothetically, if a driver admits liability then they're saying it was their fault. But if their insurance company thinks the driver did something that broke the T&C of the policy then the insurance company could dispute liability.

[dextersaurus]

okay, i'll wait on his email then

Cheers for the info anyways appreciated.
