I'm ok, no whiplash. Got a very good insurance company, courtesy car coming tomorrow and my car should be collected by the repair shop.

Everybody has whiplash which is why premiums are so high... If you don't claim your fair share you are losing out to the scammers TBH...

Why should you pay for everybody that has a minor fender bender to get £10K claiming a sore neck when you have been rammed up the arse by a truck...?

Simple, I've haven't got whiplash so why should I lie? to say 'everyone' does it isn't a reason.

Just received confirmation from the solicitor that settlement has finally been made.   :thumbsup:

For some reason my insurers never received payment and put it in hands of a solicitor, this was last March. It went to court, we won and a CCJ was issued against the lorry driver. By this time costs had risen to over 7k. Now it's been paid.

The entire episode was somewhat odd. I can only assume that his insurer must have dumped him early on.
