I also have a case ongoing from last August

Car towing home made trailer on the motorway, trailer lid not secured correctly and flies off (6x4 sheet of 4mm steel). The steel severed the brake lines of a lorry causing it to lock up and slide across from the middle lane to the hard shoulder, went under a van in front of me, hit the front of my car and went underneath it, flew up behind my car and hit the car behind on the n/s corner of the car.

Not a huge amount of damage to any car but mine was off the road for a month and I was given a courtesy car. The cost of the courtesy car came to around £2k, and this is in dispute as the insurers of the other party are claiming that the car was unnecessary!!

The day of the accident I was moving out of my parents house to live by myself 150 miles away ready to start a new job 3 days after, I was completely broke after paying to furnish a 3 bed flat, deposit, months rent up front etc. Yet this is still ongoing, despite me already providing evidence to support all of this (bank/credit card statements, rental agreement etc.)

Looks like it's going to court later in the year

Its hard to get everything in order, especially when you've had a big accident. You don't remember every detail until later, and forget things you'd do if not in that situation. I got everybodys details on my accident, except the person right at the front who went off before I had chance. The bloke who caused it left pretty sharpish too, before the police arrived. I'd have insisted he hung around if I was thinking clearly. I should also have asked him directly to admit he was at fault in front of wintnesses. Hopefully they resolve it sharpish for you mate, I'd be pretty pissed off if mine dragged on for too long.

Well you needed a car and insurance is there for a reason, so if they didn't want to pay they should have got yours fixed sooner, after all, I'm sure you'd rather have been driving your own car, rather than some rental piece of sh!te.

Even though when I phoned my insurance company Thursday I was told it would be another 3/4 weeks before I got my cheque, it turned up yesterday so I'm happy now, best bit is it is from her insurance company.
