Crashed :(!



Roundabout collisions are always very difficult to establish liability on and a large majority settle on a 50/50 basis, i would suggest you get photos of roundabout, ask the third party (technical speak for the old bint) to confirm where she was coming from and where she was going, ask her to confirm if she looked before entering roundabout. Is the approach to the roundabout clear ie no hedges blocking views? Did you have your lights on? The areas of damage usually speak for themselves.

I would push it mate as hard as you can and word to the wise I hope you remembered to attend a&e about your sore neck!!!! Remember a true whiplash injury doesnt kick in for up to 48 hours so plenty of time to make your money back with a cheeky whiplash claim.

In respect of the airfilter as long as the rest of the car is not bodykitted out etc with nothing admitted to insurance then you will be fine. If they tried to turn the claim down I can easily tell you how to shove it straight back at them.

Similar thing happened to my missus. A bird in a BM hit the side of her clio on a roundabout trying to cut across the lanes and tried to blame her for the accident.

She stuck to her guns and didn't admit any liabilty. After her insurance tried it on a couple of times they eventually gave up and paid out. If you've got legal cover just keep fighting it and hopefully they will pay up in the end.

I was in the same shoes as you year before last..Some idiot pulled out of a car park bay without looking twice..He tried to say I let him go, but I didnt and he said it was his fault on scene. I fought it for just over a year, managed to get the outcome we wanted. Got the NCB's back, and full compensation.
 
just another point if you do have legal expenses you can choose which solicitor takes case on, most firms who do the work for insurance companies wont have a solicitor dealing with a case but i assure you they will leave you in no doubt that you think they are a solicitor when they are nothing more than a carrot eating monkey
