Valvers Wrote Off.

[BSC 182]

gutted for u mate they say bad things happen too good people.
only read bout it back on the road yesterday

 

[terribleclio]

is he paying you the repair costs then mate? With him ringing you up asking what the damage is.

 

[Beef-Mc]

What a pisser!

Hopefull you'll get the car back on the road and get your injury claim through.

I know its been said, but drilling it in for you. His insurance will pay for everything, Your insurance won't have to pay a thing or be notified.
To be honest, I'd take the claim to a private solicators. I took mine to Winn & my dads and mam both have them handling a case at the minute.

Make sure the police know, you get a full doctor examination and put a claim through. People like that deserve high premiums.

f**k me dude you poor sod...you have my deepest sympothy...*gives soft manly hug* claim for sure....this is going to f**k ur life up a bit/a lot you can't just let this thing go... on the one hand you have a back up car still... so when ur fit to drive again then you can drive the 1.2 till you get another valver.

[RobBrown]

Yer do it claim off his policy it happend to me in my car but i modded ot and they void the insurance so i claimed off the other guys insurance it iwll take a while but you should win

 

[mini-valver]

Hard luck dude. Chin up though, it'll get sorted!

 

[Bradharding]

Gutted for you pal. Hope the taxi driver owns up.

Becuse as we all know. Taxi drivers can be right c***s!!

 

[donsrno1]

Unlucky mate, as said above though his insurance WILL pay out for you as although you're own cover is only TPFT that only applies if its your insurance paying out which it won't be as it wasn't your fault. One thing to note is whatever they offer you for the car (presuming that its written off which I would guess it will be from what you've said) make sure you refuse the first offer as a lot of companies offer you less than they are actually willing to pay with the first offer.

just got 5 quotes from all bodyshops in the area, and they all circle the £1000 mark.lukily, the floor pan isnt bent, but other things are nocked out of line and need replacing....if he goes through inurance then its a write off.

theyll see it as a write off becuase the repair is worth more than book value of the car, they dont take into consideration the value of the car to me

 

[Matt_Pleece]

If it's CAT C/D you could consider buying it back?

 

[Rage]

Deffo Do That.

 

[Dan Page]

Did u get his insurance details?

is he paying you the repair costs then mate? With him ringing you up asking what the damage is.

if this is the case sounds like he may not be insured??
p.s hope it all gets sorted!

 

[makavelli]

gutted for you fella, but on the plus side at least the taxi driver seems a decent guy, he didnt leg it and hes ringing you to ask about damage etc!

so many taxi drivers just do one, like the instance with middo and his sunflower 172

[mini-valver]

Dont get Middo started on taxi drivers! He got points last time

 

[makavelli]

lmao, he told me bout that when we pc'd the sub :clown:

 

[donsrno1]

You might be surprised at the value the insurance will put on the car. When I sold my old 16v a lorry crashed into it a few weeks after and I heard later that the insurance gave him £1600 for it!!! The b*****d had only paid me £600 for it as it was a shitter anyway, lol.

 

[ChrisD172]

bugger sorry to hear about this mate, you should do alright out ya personal injury claim mate

loss of earnings, personal distress and all sorts, worth geting in touch with a proper lawyer rather than your own insurance or one of these personal injury crowds

 

[Leeshez]

This is bad news . I hope you recover. Anyone who rear ends you is in the wrong. I was the middle car in a 3 car shunt. The guy behind me was at fault, not looking and too quick.

 

[Rage]

thats f**kin w**k mate. didnt i see you down longford last night? must have been just before it happened?

[Middo]

Dont get Middo started on taxi drivers! He got points last time

lol, indeed i think everyone knows my opinion on them, well ones of the stoke variety

hope you get it sorted soon mate, similar thing happened to me, had the car for three weeks then some bugger runs me off the road and drives off.

 

[Rage]
