had a similar thing last year... i couldnt be arsed dealing with my insurance company so went to a 3rd  party specialist called helphire. they sort out everything, hire car.. repairs.. even the personal injury claim and all it costs is a tenner. they just claimed it all back from the plonker that hit me.

been to docs, it's JUST whiplash - ... just... try tellin my neck that!

he hit me so i'll ahve to claim from him! -

first thing he said was "i didn't see you indicating til last minute" then when a guy came out from the building i parked in and gave me his card and said if u need a witness, then he started gettin shirty.... i was enerting a no entry, no i wasn't i was slowing down to pull in the entrance after the no entry, but it's called signalling before a maneuouver -( ha ha @ spelling)  

f**kin d**k head!   i'm supposed to be sellin the car... hope it won't come off my insurance, then i'll have no chance of insuring my mk2 golf!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!  :cry:

Have to agree with Top on that one they are a mint company, even sorted out when a muppet drove into the back of their hire car!

they're givin me a hire car until they fix my 106, theres no damage to the plastic below black bumper apart from scratches, but the floor of my boot is bent, and the exhaust is blowin bad and manifold is bent!! they're the obv things we can see, (my bro is a mechanic for mazda, and my uncle has a garage) just got to wait and see what his ins company say when they eventually call round! atleast i get a shiny hire car - le'ts pray for a golf!!!! - quite lie to drive a new one, prob end up with some hugely massive car thing!  :sad:

get my hire car some time this aft.... just awaitin the phonecall so they'll pick me up and take me to the hire place to fill out the paperwork!

Oh my god. :cry: :cry: :cry:  Talk about adding insult to injury.

Take it back and say you can't drive it due to the injuries you sustained in the crash.  i.e driving position is giving you neck pain or something.

just thought i'd update you all on the situation - i'vve been signed of work for two weeks with whiplash - and im a lot more pain than originally was.

They're prob goin to write my car of as it's a 106 - m reg not worth much, and the manifold is bent, exhaust blowing, boot floor bent, had a new number plate and the bumper wil need polishing/re-spraying!

hee hee - payout time! i wanna get my golf on the road!!!!!!
