Rising sun tickets in 3weeks will be wasted but I promise to make a scene at JAE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I would get a quote on fixing it then talk to the company and see if they would be willing to settle with a cash payment instead of going through the insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I made the same mistake of when crashing my supra to ring insurance up then got loads of help and advice from hear and rang them back and said was fixing the car myself and was back on road in two weeks and cost me around £500 in total to repair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPow Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 The only thing is I was pushed into another car so he has to claim through my insurance, therefore I need to claim? Or that's how the person on the phone worded it. I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Should still be through the other drivers insurance for that car too. You had nothing to do with the incident, so therefore your insurance should not be needed. The guy who crashed into yours' insurance should cover both your supra and the other car, as it was all the same incident, and the bus drivers fault. I would give the number of the muppet driver to the other cars owner, and let them deal with their issue seperately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 You have, by law, third part cover (hopefully....) so that will pay for the damage to the other car, (the third party). How you want to handle the damage to your own car is up to you. If you want to pay for the repair yourself, the insurance company will probably be very happy. if you insist they pay, then they MIGHT try and write it off. It's YOUR car (or the finance companies, if it's on finance, I don't know), so how you wish it repaired is up to you. If you wish for your insurance cover to handle it, then you are opening yourself up to negotiations with them, as to how much they will pay, whether it's deemed a write off, if all information regarding it's condition and use was made available when you signed up, blah blah.

Guest Budz86 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Feel for you mate! As Chris says really. Had this happen to me a while ago - repair quote came to £2k ish. The wanted to write it off but I told them what's the point as they were going to give me more than the £2k repair bill. Can't really write a long post at the moment as Im on my phone but give me a call later if you want and Il tell you exactly what happened with me and how I got it sorted.
