nothing really to think about fella my dad got shunted in the back and he got 1700 quid so u in a taxi should be looking at least that dude but glad ur all ok

yup min of 1500 quid for wiplash, get ur self to doctors with stiff neck, and tell ur mates to do same

then moan how expensive your own insurance is because everybody claims even when there's nothing wrong with them :rolleyes:

Obviously with it being the A Team, no one got hurt.:woot::thumbsup:

They could crash a helicopter into a cliff, have it drop 50ft or so, and the crew would still walk out!!:woot:.....after it explodes.


Glad your not hurt dude.




They're making an A Team movie!

name your dream A Team cast? :woot:

I aint gettin in no taxi........fool:lol::thumbsup:


Whipcashtastic!!

I'm making a claim now as after checking myself for and cuts i found multiple bruses on my shoulder blades and hip and a lil bump on my head, and put a big scar on my new shoes that were cost me a fair bit so want them replaced hope it all goes down well :) Anyone got any good tips for claiming?

pics of injurys and docs with a stiff neck

Yep, really lay it on thick with the docs!

Also...on a serious note.
You may feel ok for the few hours after an accident. Then you may feel pains and affects later on the next week or so....sometimes longer.


I had an accident when I fisrt started driving. Someone decided to park their renault estate into the boot of my mk3 escort.
I was soooo pumped up with adrenelin that I just got out of the car and wanted to kill the bloke in the other car (seeing as my mum, dad, and little bro was inthere too). I was like this for a while after and only started to feel an affect of the accident about a week later, and my back and neck haven't been the same since, and I still get similar pains now. And I didn't claim, because back then their wasn't these 'no win no fee' people around and it took years to drag it through courts and the likes. So we didn't bother because we didn't think we'd get too much out of it.

But now, people are stopping you on the street and asking if you've been in accidents that wasn't your fault.

1. In an ideal world, don't bother. As per Showtime's posting what goes round comes round and more claims pushes up the cost of insurance which may put another company out of business etc etc. You could shrug off the cuts thankful in the fact you came out of it OK and just send the taxi's Insurers a letter with a photo of your damaged shoes and a copy of the original receipt to prove how much you paid for them.

2. However, as we don't live in the ideal world, I recommend you seek a free consultation with a reputable solicitor. Many will look at your case on a no win no fee basis but make sure you read the small print. Before doing this you may want to consider that you may well have to see a few Doctors for them to compile reports etc and it will be a faff. If your injuries, pain and suffering are genuine you will have nothing to worry about.

Did you get the Insurance details for the cab firm or were/are they reluctant to provide them?

When the moon hits your eye like a big-a pizza pie, call claaaaims direct :eh?:

That should be an interesting conversation.. Technically if they do it properly they should not make any offers or admissions of liability to you at all. Doing so would in all likelihood be breaching the terms and conditions of their insurance policy and could lead to their Insurers refusing to protect them. However, they should be able to provide you with the identity of their Insurers including the address, the policy number and hopefully a contact telephone number.

Not trying to dissuade you from claiming - all I'm saying is keep it real and try not to sink to the level of laying it on thick to bump up the compo - if we all did that this country will go down the pan :(.

I got pics of all the car with all the details i need

if i were you i would be posting nowt anywhere, keep your head down, and post nothing :thumbsup: thats good advice, people are watching mate trust me ;)

Thats what happened here in NI, insurance costs are mega over here. Im 23, had the license for 4 1/2 years and to insure myself on my girlfriends 115bhp mk4 TDI golf would cost me £1500...

Mike, were the police at the scene?

I assume they were due to the fact there is a van parked in the ditch, but if they weren`t and they did not take a statement from you and the driver then it could be very difficult to get his details out of him.
This happened to me a few years ago, i got reversed into by a luton van and the fella was greek i think, he didnt have his details in the van and said he would pay to get the car fixed without going through the insurance, i felt fine at the time, but as tel says it was a few days later when i was starting to stiffen up, i ended up seeing a physio etc and the car was all twisted too, in short he was very reluctant to give out his details as he had already had 4 accidents that year and because the police were not at the scene they wanted nothing to do with it and would not help me in anyway to get his details:mad:

Can I send you a bill for the portion of my insurance that results from pointless claims?:mad:

Yeah! Lets turn the UK into America! :thumbdown:

racing would be better if we did no?
