Car crash advice

[pablogrande]

Hi I was involved in car crash yesterday, a driver came fast out of a side road without looking. She admitted fault and there were witnesses who backed this up.

The car I was driving was a hire car and was totally wrecked I'm ok apart from a pretty sore back that means I'm unlikely to be able to drive for a few days, I don't want to put in any compansation claim or anything like that but do you think I would be entitled to claim back cab fares etc until I'm able to drive again?

thanks

I'd check that your back is defenitely OK before dismissing compensation claims

Keep all the receipts etc. and write all the events down and store them even if you don't intend to sue.

Agree. And go to a chiropractor. Seriously. if your bones are out of whack they need re-aligning before the muscles grow around the dis-placed bones and support them in their new wrong place.

The chiropractor will issue a receipt and you can claim that back.

I am sorry to hear about your accident and hope things are okay soonest.

Just wonderin' why don't you want to make a compensation claim? If the driver admitted liability and the witnesses heard that you have a strong case.

You can go for a nice massage when you are well, too, as a pick me up, from the damaging personality change that has happened since the accident.

Back pain can be debillitating for life

You may never work again.

Sue the world;-)
