Time for the serious head and not taking the pee.

Young bruv was involved in a non fault crash in his modified and played with Mk2 Escort a number of years ago and he got his ankle broken when it was mashed into the pedals.  Pinned and fixed, he took a full and final cash settlement from the fault drivers insurance (pulled out in front of him, T-bone crash the result) as it was 'big bucks' at the time - 4 grand. 

Almost 20 years on, he has been through the physio etc and fused bones etc to relieve constant pain and amputation is now looming large on the horizon to alleviate constant pain he is in.

Moral?  Pain now could easily be severe in years to come.  Ignoring the 3 grand autowhiplash claim, if you are in pain with your back YOU MUST, either through your insurers or GP, INSIST on further medical examination to ensure that the circumstances are noted now (not neccessarily paid out) so that if, in future years, you have a debilitating back problem you have a comeback to, potentially, pay for house adaptations for wheelchair access etc etc. 

Not saying thats a probable as 'its only a bit of pain' at the moment but you must get the point noted so that there is future recourse.

I was in similar circumstances some years ago, made out I'm the big tough gruff Jock and poo poo'ed a bit of back pain as a result of a crims activities.

Boy, do I regret that big time now as the fekker topped himself and theres now going back to claim now.......

Been beating him over the head with that since day one. Will it ever go in. Chrystal ball would be nice, but in the absence of the ability to see the future, one MUST cover ones proverbial arse and the ability to continue to pay ones mortgage in any event.

Well, as said, seen quack, convo went something like this...

Quack: "So, why are you here"
Me: "I'm in agony"
Quack: "What do you expect, you've been thrown around a bit in the accident. If its not less painful in 3 or 4 months, come back. I'd offer Physio, but its a 3 month waiting list"
Me: "Gee, thanks"


So my views and thoughts on the bottomless pit of inefficiency that we know as the NHS remains unchanged.

As you have admired its best side, here is the not so good side 



You can see the side impact bar in the door did its job...

was a very nice car.. but the hits damaged it really badly.. especially the rear.. drivers door and  front wing can be changed easily but rear damage requires a robot to bring the car into original shape    which is also quite expensive here..
 
with UK repair costs and comparing to car prices its not logical to try repair there.. but here, still its worth a try..

See a private Physiotherapist. As said previously, Drs know cock all about Spines and muscles. Hence the referral, which you've declined. The point is not the competence of the system, it's to log the issues for lawyers later, should a professional opinion be needed.

Robot ? Nah,one end of a chain attached to car,other end to something solid - drive off, job jobbed.

Look at camber on NSR and OSF wheels, clearly there is some very serious damage underneath.

Additionally, look at picture in first post, passenger side (ie, NS), top of B pillar, that is a crease that wasn't there pre accident, so its actually very, very bent.

[Jimbob]

GO PRIVATE....

you can claim the costs back (assuming you dont have it through work anyway?)

Thats a bit of a dint!

You have answered your own question.

Plague the GP.  If its sore, tell him.  Repeatedly.  Get the meds (no one says you have to take them, its 'just a bit of pain' remember) and tell him/her that whatever he is doing insn't working.  And neither are you.

Get a hospital reference for Xray/MRI/whatever.  And get it seen to.

Write directly to other party who is at fault informing them that you wish to recoup your uninsured losses NOW (thats the excess on the policy, car hire, loss of wages, taxi fares due to lack of car etc etc etc.) and that you require the monies within 14 days of postmark as they are deemed wholly responsible.  Non payment after the 14 days will incurr a daily compounded interest rate of XX percent above the BoE daily rate on the monies payable.  Each letter reminding them of non payment will cost them an additional £50 each time you send one and each will be compounded to the total and subject to interest as already stated.

Remember the phrase 'full and final' in any settlement.  That means if you do accept monies that are subject to that, any future claim for injury has already been paid out and your stuffed.

Bottom line, dont just roll over and take a couple of Ibuprofen if it gets a bit tickly.  Your actions now can demarcate your future health and standard of life.  And it may well be something that you don't like, if you are not carefull.....

TB you've listened to none of us so far, maybe you'll listen to Broocie!

This is your health, your quality of life, you only get the one.  Please please (I'm begging now so must be serious) go private and get yourself treated.  Doc's only generalise, you NEED input from a physio specialising in musculoskeletal problems.

Edit to clarify

You are claiming uninsured losses, nothing more, and certainly not your injury(s) which is/are yet to be fully assessed.  Further communications will ensue once prognosis confirmed.
