When I lost my leg they were my solicitors.
Excellent firm. Got me more in mediation than I would of got in court. Didn't rush me for a settlement (took 8 years). My accident was at night and the driver stated I had no lights on and had a witness. Fletcher's didn't give up and went door to door to find witnesses and was able to get me a good result.
I had Lucy fletcher, Jeanette slater and Caroline fiddler on my case.
Their QC was excellent too.
The owner is in a wheelchair due to a bike accident if I remember correctly.
Always win good awards. Fantastic firm, I can honestly say my life would now be different if it wasn't for them and can't recommend them highly enough  |

Some MCE & Fletchers discussion here:
https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=239482
And my post copied and pasted:

It got there in the end, but it took bloody ages, medical appointment was a joke and I had to persist with chase up emails.
First thing is to be realistic, do you really expect a fast and hassle free process from the average insurance company or solicitor?
The key is to keep chasing them up with emails, find out at who at Fletchers is handling your case and get their email address. If you don't get an acknowledgement to your chase email after a day or two, send it again.
Also, insist on having electronic copies of forms and letters emailed to you if they don't do it automatically. This way, you can respond to letters instantly, print forms, fill them out, scan them in and email it back. Again, send the email again if you don't get a acknowledgement after a reasonable amount of time. |

Fletchers are good. They keep chasing you up and do things swiftly.

Ah, chat has delivered the answer.
Dotty seems to think that because of her minor arm pain, she can push all of our premiums up. Hazaar!
Here are two screen shots, which should either insurance company or legal firm look at they may find interesting:
In this screen shot of her crash post, she states that she "has a few bruises - nothing major".
https://i43.tinypic.com/1531bit.png
And here in chat is a description of her sudden onset injury:
https://i39.tinypic.com/wi3pqv.jpg
Now personally I don't think this is a sufficient enough injury to warrant a personal injury claim. It is neither life altering nor does she appear to have had to give up work for it.
What do we think BCF? Does a minor shooting pain down an arm require a personal injury claim?
It's also interesting that in her argument as to why she should claim she has never mentioned consulting a qualified medical professional. So if this injury is so bad that she deserves compensation for it, surely she would have gone to a doctor?
So, dotty, have you been to a doctor? If so, what was their diagnosis?
It really boils my piss when people claim for nothing.

and as for that thread i started. I didnt go into injuries because i was wanting to go through insurance first. I didnt see the relevance of putting my injuries on.

I most certainly am not. You still haven't stated what the diagnosis that you're claiming for was, but let's gloss over that.
In the chat window referenced, most people agreed that after any accident you are going to have aches and pains. It's a generally accepted thing. On a motorbike this is likely to intensify as you are significantly closer to the action then you are in most cars.
The fact that you had an accident sucks. The fact that you have accepted 50/50 responsibility for the accident suggests to me that we're likely not getting the full story. Even if we are, you had a collision with a motor vehicle. It is a generally accepted thing that during your career as a motorcyclist you will have an accident.
If you had broken a leg, broken an arm or something similar we wouldn't be having this discussion. The fact of the matter is, you yourself on several occasions have admitted that your injuries are minor. Minor injuries do not warrant claiming for. This claim culture that we live in is what has driven our insurance premiums sky high in the past few years.
In my honest opinion claiming for injuries such as the ones you have stated is simply an unacceptable way to behave. It is claims such as this that are screwing the rest of us. I might be able to insure an R1 if it weren't for people such as yourself claiming for irrelevant and frankly minor injuries.

Firstly, it's very possible you wake up the next morning to a fair amount of pain. This has happened to me before, after bikes, rugby, and even just falling over drunk.
You can sure as hell bet the insurance company is going to increase her premiums more than she'll get from them (for minor bruising/injuries, you're not looking more than 1k, which she'll only get 50% of possibly minus costs)
I'm not sure if you have had a crash, aside from binning another BCFers bike and taking ages to pay him for the parts Computid, but regardless if you have had an accident and it causes you problems, I feel you should be compensated for it.
I *only* broke 7-10 bones in my foot and knuckle, ribs, muscle damage etc. Compared to J.Silvs mine are pretty rubbish though, I mean I can still walk, but with a limp for the forseeable future. Should I therefore think that ah well, I shouldn't claim, because it's not that bad?
I think it's just you getting on your power horse again. You wave your cock around in chat about how much money you earn for your age, then surely you can insure a R1 if you wanted? You'd be very quick to get at Shereen about insuring something expensive, yet all this money and you live at home and can't afford it? Strange.

Yes, all replaced to the owners satisfaction. The delay wasn't just down to me, it was down to logistics and difficulty identifying the part required. The main point is that the bike is now repaired.
I've had a few accidents on the road. The main one being that I got T-Boned by a van, new indictor + mirror + side fairing. Managed to stay on the bike but sustained a sprained ankle and leg hurt for a while after. Didn't even claim for the bike damage. Not worth it.

1) Don't think I've really posted in any Shereen threads. I did find the bar risers on an R1 rather funny, and the Ducati thing a little strange, but I don't think I've got involved in any of the debates.
2) Insurance on an R1 when I last checked (which was, admittedly, last year) was a touch over £4k from one provider. The next was £16k. Why would I pay £4k to insure a bike worth less then that? That's just simple logic. If people weren't lodging dodgy personal injury claims then it would probably be a lot lower.
3) I rarely "Wave my cock around". It's only ever come up when I've been asked or it's being discussed. It's not exactly like I come in and go "I make a ton of money fuck you".
4) Never said I couldn't afford it. I just simply don't see the point in paying that much.
I don't really see why you've turned this into a personal thing about me, but fine.
As I stated earlier, if there was a life altering injury or she had to take time off work then fine, I can see the reason for a claim. Your life quality has been significantly reduced due to the actions of somebody else. However in this case it would appear that some minor aches and pains are going to cost both parties money in the long run and are going to effectively cost the rest of us a hike in premiums. I think my argument is perfectly coherent and fair and I know others in chat agree.

OK if you are 'injured' and it's not your fault, then why not sue, it is only 'normal' these days anyway, but why the need to lie about it all? People do get seriously injured, scarred for life, lose limbs etc... yes they should be entitled to make a claim.
In Dotty's case, she went to the doctor and was given the equivalent of paracetamol and ibuprofen.... now that sounds like some serious life threatening injuries to me, so I think the people that's having a go should maybe cut her some slack  |

pyro youre mising the point, its not that she shouldnt claim for injuries its that theres fuck all wrong with her. she was fine then 3 days later she was "sore". its a last ditch attempt to get sympathy, she came on chat claiming she wasnt to blame at all but when half the story came out she realised shes partly to blame.

Look,sherlock holmes, if you had any brains about you, you would realise that i wrote that 2 hours after the accident happened. Not 3 days as you incorrectedly stated. The neck/ shoulder and ankle pain became present later on in the evening. Which is actually very common when having an accident. So god knows where you got 3 days from?!
As for the attention you couldn't be any more wrong. If you knew me, which you don't, you would realise i HATE attention and because of this i play down my injuries because sympathy just pisses me off.
So insteas of making accusations that are hghly innacrate why don't you cocentrate on getting your facts right.
And for the record, i do work, not that i need to explain that to an idiot,like yourself.
Claiming i am not to blame? Refer back to that thread i made, i have clearly stated she is to blame. Like i said, you don't go across a labe of traffic without checking. She is to blame, and i have 3 witnesses that are backing me up. |
