Hit at 30mph while stationary

[Ryan]

Was parked up the other night, thankfully with my seatbelt on, when some one apparently didnt see me and ploughed right into the back of me!!!

Gutted isnt the word, then to rub salt in the wound my replacement car is totally different to my Clio so therefore my learners are basically learning to drive again

Having major issues already with insurance, I just know it isnt going to go smoothly.

Anyway, heres the damage...

 

[BIFCAIDS]

oh dear, whats that curved up in the arch? is it plastic or metal, anyway looks like them bumpers have done a good job

 

[Tucker]

wow, you got away pretty damn light for 30mph

 

[Greeny.]

sux dude, hope u get it sorted

 

[mini-valver]

Check the boot floor!!

 

[powey]

Thats got to be a genuine whiplash claim, 30mph shunt how you feeling today? was a learner in the car...good bit of practise for when they pass lol

 

[BioHzrd]

looks a bit like mine did when mine was hit bar the Giant crack in the rear bumper !

Shitemare though mate hope it gets sorted for you quick

 

[Fletcher]

What a shitter.

 

[Turkish]

Pisser about the damage As for 30mph, no way is that the result of you stationary and the vehicle hitting you at 30. Unless the front 20ft of their car was made of bubblewrap and you had the handbrake off.

 

[.GAZ.]

Fvck sake Lynas... Luckily my burd hasnt started yet!!!

 

[Soph]

gutted hun looks bit bad.

a mate of mine got hit while on a driving lesson. She actually got compensation too!

 

[Rob.]

I've never liked dealing with insurance

 

[DrR]

If its only bumper damage just do it your self. f**k the insurance.

Why? It's won't be his insurance?

Also looks like about a 10mph crash to me.

 

[Paul.]

you sure they hit you doing 30?:S

True but isn't it still classed as a claim ?? I've no idea with insurance never had to claim

 

[DrR]

No, cos you've not claimed on your own inusrance. But some companys do ask if you have had to claim from another person.

 

[fossie]

Bloody hell are the other party blind or something, how the hell could they not have seen you....... Either they hit you from behind, so theres no contest who is at fault tbh

 

[Struggler]

if he claims off them,

then he gets every bit of dmg on the car fixed by proper mechanics,
with genuine renault parts, and painted and blended proplery,
plus compensation!! i would, sounds like they shouldnt be on the road tbh,
and no it wont be a claim on his behalf,

be a fool not to use insurance, this is what its there for!

really sorry to hear this, hope it all gets sorted for you.

 

[Tigger]

That's gutting fella, hope you get sorted soon and without any other hassle

 

[GarethM]

nasty, hope its gets sorted ok

 

[Marky_]

What's the replacement? After my instructor crashed his car I found the new one loads easier to drive.

 

[R20 CWH]

harsh man harsh

 

[Brett]

Gutted for you mate. Lots of people are having bad luck wth they're cars atm.

 

[Gary-Lew]

Bad luck mate ! Low speed impact that, 30mph all the back end including quarter panels would be caved in.

 

[Ryan]

Well they were going 40mph, seen me when they were about 10yards behind me and skidded into the back of me. Her headlight was above her front wheel, her car is a total write off.

Not on a lesson thankfully, however have a Campus as a hire car. Its a totally different car ffs!

Of course I will be getting it fixed thru insurance, why would I pay to get the damage fixed that was caused by another driver? Her insurance will also pay for my loss of earnings, hire car and personal injury claim if I make one. Im sore as fook the day so still debating it

How long does it usually take to get a teh repairs carried out? can any one speak from experience?

 

[Has]

No, cos you've not claimed on your own inusrance. But some companys do ask if you have had to claim from another person.

Still classed as a claim.

Just a "Non-fault, excess recovered" type of claim.

If you claim on your insurance or anyone elses, still a claim which has to be declared.

Most companies have a drop down menu with many types of answers for it.

It is really down to the company you are with and what protocol they use.

Some companies are pretty quick, have the car collected and assessed within days.

Some take a while to collect, assess and approve the repairs.

Give your company a ring, speak to the dept dealing with it.
Altho again being the weekend, no work is probably being done on you case/claim.

However I still need to claim as I am still running at a loss! She has insurance to pay for accidents, therefore I will be claiming

 

[Has]

Deff mate, claim away

I assume you have some sort of learners policy or something? Not sure how insurance goes on learner vehicles?

Either way as you say, you should get your loss of earning etc all back.

My dad did with his work van, someone pulled out infront of himturning right.
He is self employed and lost a weeks work due to it.
