First of all i would just like to say a massive thanks to Bez for all his help this morning it is really appreciated mate

Was on may way to work this morning just sat waiting for the traffic lights to change, they go green and off i go the next thing i know my head is nearly hitting the steering wheel. Pull the car over and i just started shaking like a s**ting dog.

The guy that witnessed it rang the police and within a couple of minutes the ambulance and police car is there, they get me out of the car and put me in the ambulance and this is what i saw.



Got hit with some speed me thinks.

 

Gutted for you Dave, hope your ok?

 

Just aching a bit now mate probably get worse before it gets better.

 

Glad you're ok mate and that the witness had called the police and ambulance. Will give you a shout later on this evening - chin up mate

 

thats gutting coops,do you think its repairable or is it a write off?.........get a claim in too

 

Sorry to see this Dave,,hope u are ok mate.Load of arseholes out there,i'am laid in bed mate full of cold but if u need owt give us a call.Chin up my fellow wok.....

 

I think it's a write off mate, jubby said the same thing about a claim

 

fellow wok i will do if i need owt mate cheers

 

[quote=coops78;9268017]I think it's a write off mate, jubby said the same thing about a claim..


seen worse than that pulled back out &put back on the road,,,,but would u want it back.?????...

 

don't know mate i have an idea what i want to happen but we will have to wait and see.. .

 

Agreed, seen worse put back right, nothing a week or two on a jig wouldn't fix providing the roof isn't creased.

 

roof not creased but it's not the issue of doing the repair if it will cost more to fix than the value of the car it will be written off....

 

fakme mate thats some bloody whack you had,was it a train that hit you.a women hit me from behind last year in the icy weather and appart from a few scuffs there was no damage to the car,so god knows how fast they must have been going to do that.hope your ok mate.on the plus side thow i got a good few physio seshions on my back and the bird who did it was fit as ****.

 

glad your ok mate,

would be priced on genuine panels as well so you maybe right about it's future.

will the future have a certain 3 letters after wrx.........??????

speedy recovery mate

Tim

 

cheers mate

yes the future could have an extra 3 letters in it E V O

 

sorry to here about your accident, I know how you feel. a similar thing happened to me back in october,

they wrote my car off. but every cloud has a silver lining, I ended up buying a scooby!

(although thats at scoobyclinc being repaired after nearly writing that off in the snow)

hope you make a full recovery. took me just over month to recover from the wiplash that i got.

 

Cheers mate i'm starting to ache a bit more now. will probably get worse tomorrow.

 

yeah i'm ok mate just aching it's also just started to sink in that i can't drive my car
The road is a 40 limit but at 6 in the morning i think it was a bit more.

 

Sorry to hear this, just make sure you are o.k. !

dunx

 

Coops78 really hope you recover soon. I've been in a few accidents (unfortunately) but luckily I have never been rear ended like that (whilst at a stop).
I wish you a speedy recovery followed by a nice big pair of fat cheques from your insurance company & a compensation claim

 

Glad you seem ok, get some more photo of the location of the accident and get a statement off who you can.... its all good for a claim, and dont bother win a no win no fee jobby... If you do your home work, representing yourself is just as good. Hes hit you fairly hard i'd say this you need some photos of the skid marks (im guessing there isnt any until the impact?)

PS, If wrote off buy the car off the insurance if relatively cheap bud, you'll do ok on here with it...

HTH
Rob

 

Thanks for the messages guys.

Cheers for the info Rob i will go up tomorrow and take some pictures, the police are investigating it too so should be hearing from them tomorrow.

I had been thinking about buying it back so will see what happens next week.

 

Although I can not see any reason why it wouldnt go in your favour, just don't rely on the poilce to convict the guy or at least take evidentual photos, they are failry relaxed when it comes to this unless someone died on the scene.

Also I was thinking about your situation earlier and a guy I know called Adrian sprang to mind. He is a Deffensive driving instructor for large business and footballers to help reduce Insurance premiums (saved our company 1/2 million pounds over the last 7 years). He is ex CID and knows his stuff, he could maybe help you out if you choose to represent yourself on the claim. PS his biggest pet hate is Police & Government lol.

I think it is also good to learn to say crash and not an accident. An accident has no known or assignable cause. A crash does!

Rob

 

Ohhh in chomping at the bit now.... Last message as im sure you1r not wanting to read all this:

In personal injury cases, insurance companies love to use the word “accident”, which implies that your injury, caused by someone else’s carelessness was a simple no-fault situation. The use of the word “accident” is a manipulative attempt to sway a jury into believing that the crash, or rear end shunt in your situation was not anybody’s fault. In reality, an “accident” is usually caused by someone who wasn’t paying attention

 

All taken on board cheers mate
