Its a sad state of affairs that the only person who 'wins' out of this is a person who doesn't have to worry about insurance costs as he can't drive. Needless to say the Jamz3k free taxi is now closed to all but family.

Well i'm now pretty miserable to be honest. the fella in the back of my car suddenly has got a "bad back" so we've got no choice but to go through the insurance companies. My car is get binned I think
Lesson duly learnt, do not give co-workers lifts to work. It isn't worth the hassle.

I think I would insist that he produces a medical certificate to prove his "injury" before you go any further with the insurance for the sake of the bloke who hit you. Unfair that he should suffer because of the co-worker's greed when he was prepared to stump up for the repairs anyway.

I really don't know what it is that attracts smelly ***** to seek employment in my place but i'd agree with you, some of them really are seriously bog rotten!

What gets me the most is the amount of people telling him that he should claim because its easy money! It annoys me greatly.

If it was me, he would be in severe danger of losing his lift to work!

Well this is turning out to be a complete pain in the *****. My insurance are trying to tell me that I never told them about the accident, which i did on the day but their systems were down and the other parties insurance are trying to work out liability even though I was rear ended and the driver of the other car has admitted liability.
3 weeks now and my car isn't fixed and it has a very twitchy back end. Starting to lose my rag.

Argh Argh Argh, Got a letter in about my claim. Apparently this old fella has admitted to the accident being his fault but is saying that I wasn't the one driving my car!
Not even the guys i've got to handle the claim understand why he has done this. So now they've had to involve a solicitor.
Starting to wonder if I was gullible feeling sorry for this old codger.

James, if he doesnt have the other fellows details Id leave him high and dry. If your insurance company dont know that he was in the car too then he is stuffed if you do that.
