He says he didn't see it



How the hell could he have missed it 

[05omegav6]

Ouch hope you kicked him in the knackers...

On the plus side, easy enough to fix

[tigers_gonads]

He would have to stick a toothbrush up his arse to clean his teeth if he made that excuse to me

Insurance will write that off 

[biggriffin]

R.I.P Omega

Insurance will write that off 

I'd agree if it was your own insurance comp paying for the repair.......but its not.....its the other guys....insist it gets repaired at a garage of your choice and they also pay for a hire car for you as well.....ive been there before and trust me you have to put your foot down if the 3rd party insurance comp tries to take the pee

Your entitled to a hire car, like for like.......ok so theres a bit of a problem there as no hire company will have an omega for hire......so just insist its a large saloon car thats auto (if the omega is auto)

Carnt see from the pics.....but is the rear alloy damaged? if so, insist it gets a full alignment check as well.

Last bit of advice......check your insurance policy to see if it has an accident damage company attached to it......if it has.....let them know asap.....they will do all the donkey work for you and make sure you get all your entitled too 

How do i know this......i make sure my insurance policies have 'Angel Assist' on them, they're an accident management comp.....costs next to nothing....bout £30 extra/yr......

Good luck

Wot 'e said

Just to add, don't let them take the car without a written guarantee that the car will be repaired in full and returned to you. Under no circumstances should you release the car without this

An alternative, if you can afford it, is to get the car repaired and invoice the third party insurers for the cost

Good luck with it

i will be very shocked if they dont write it off with the damage, car has been taken away now and put into storage i was looking to change it anyway so its just given me the push i needed, im staying with Vx but moving to the frontera 2.2dti for a while

As the "third party" you have a legal right to insist the car is repaired to it`s pre-accident condition

[05omegav6]

That'll be bean cans before June

If you let the 3rd part ins comp do this, they probably will try......but you are entitled to have it repaired......if the 3rd party has admitted liability i would be screaming wheres my hire car by now!!

Ummm not good .... i think....unless he has clout to fight an insurance comp......if he has then good 

[markspark]

with a bit of luck they will offer me £800- £1000 for the car and that will do me very nice as i paid less than that for it 4 years ago the pics do make the car look a tad better condition than what it is
