monkey76364 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 In motor cycle news ...passed on to me from work on onme page there is a letter written in about this sort of thing and about loss from accidents like this. It recomends that you try the MIB Motor insurance bereau and try for compensatiuon there ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alan Partridge Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Dude, you need to make a claim through the Motor Insurers Bureau. I work for a law firm which deal with Bike Claims, we do work for Bennetts etc. Email me at [email protected] http://www.minsterlaw.co.uk http://www.mib.org.uk you can make a claim for personal injury only as the other vehicle was not identified, will cover the cost of your bike repairs, but will prob take about 9 months and we deduct 25% of your winnings for costs. You can do it yourself by going to their website but they will offer you pisch and we will prob make up more than what our fee would be. cheers Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanK Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 ah shit really sorry mate, not having much luck at the moment huh Can't beleive the tosser in the truck just drove off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 The MIB will only compensate you for yoru injuries, not the bike. (As already stated by Lee) Not sure how much you might get for your finger. Are you sure you vaven't hurt your neck or back? It can put a right old strain on you trying to hold your bike upright when being shoved along the road by a pick-up truck. I had this happen once in a city centre during the morning rush hour. A car came the wrong way down a one way street at me. I tried to point out that he was going the wrong way, but after ranting at me he just drove into me head on. It was only when half the people in the street descended on him that he reversed away from me at speed, turned around and fled! Fortunate for me that there were so many people about who were willing to help! Hope you get something back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I would LOVE a bike, was brought up on them as my dad was a serious biker, as were others in my family. Seeing pics of the current bikes etc really makes me want one, but I just can't - and exactly for the reason above, too many bike unaware wankers about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
