 |
|
Hi,
Still trying to sort out the claim for my accident last year, it's going nowhere fast atm. I sent my solicitors a snotty email last night saying that because I still haven't been paid for my current out of pocket expenses (now over £350) that I won't be going to any appointments they make for me until I have.
My question is am I going to get a load of grief about doing this? I made them aware that I've been bounced around Suffolk,for a year now, and am finally at the end of my tether :/
Any help appreciated  ____________________ '84 TS50X, '91 TZR125, '89 CBR400RR, '91 VFR400R NC30, '98 R1

Is it a damage only claim or is there personal injury involved?
It is usual for your out of pocket expenses (called special damages) to be paid with your compensation at the successful conclusion of the case. The only payments that are usually paid before liability is admitted is if an interim payment is requested and paid during the ongoing process (which usually applies to the more serious cases), and in some cases the cost of replacing the bike and this is usually dependent on liability being admitted.
But that is no excuse for your currently pushing you around the place, they should have no problem advising you of how any payments are scheduled. ____________________ It is better to arrive 30 seconds late in this world, than 30 years early in the next |
