Hi all,
Had my first ever motorbike accident and insurance claim
Basically A driver pulled out of a side street and I went straight into the car. I was doing 30mph
I'm Insured with BMW (devitts) who offered no advice except claim off my policy or go to a claims management company, they pushed this quite abit.
A friend of mine who is a crash assessor said to ignore my insurer, and myself get the 3rd party (aviva) to admit liability. I chased them and had a conversation on the phone and a witness backed my statement so they have accepted responsibility.
so all that is good,
Thing is I feel very alone with all this,
I have damage to my suit and helmet which Aviva have said they will pay towards, and they are offering me an fjr1300 as a hire bike.
But I have no one fighting my side except me now.
I don't think I have whiplash and don't want to add to that claim, due to moral reasons, but I do have a bruise and cut on my leg, my shoulder is sore and aches as does the bottom of my neck.
I was seen by ambulance. I've been to the GP also
Should I pursue this? Should I talk to Avivas injury team. Or should I go and get a solicitor? Devitts originally told me. "We can put you in touch with a solicitor who will claim the costs back"
... Any advice or experience would be really appreciated
