Got rammed last night
« on: November 15, 2008, 08:28:22 AM »
Sitting quietly in a traffic jam last night on the M53, when wallop.  eeek:

Lad in van behind me, apparently "didn't see me" ::)
I did mention the fact that he'd been following behind me for the past 20 minutes like and suggested specsavers.

Anyway, after exchanging the usual info, we re-joined the que....well I did. Not too sure about him as the front end of his kangoo was looking decidedly bent after hitting GROWLERS 4 wheeled buffalo.

Thing is, do I claim for whiplash as everyone is suggesting?
Bit of a moral issue here, as me neck is fine....being a big well 'ard grizzly like?  8)

The ABI's report on the injury names the UK as the "whiplash capital" of Europe, accounting for three quarters of personal injury claims related to motor accidents

Well there's a bloody shock then ey? ::)

I have had dealings with this lately! When someone ran into the back of me on the M56 HIS insurance company kept calling me to enquire after my health.I told them I was fine. More fool me.

When I touched the back of another car in heavy traffic in January the daft bint took my insurance company for £10K!

The rozzers call it "whipcash"  evil:

He'd have to admit liability and then take himself to court. Growler v. Growler. He'd be bound to win. Like those Williams sisters in the tennis, like.

(I've won another MP3 player this morning.I don't use the first one I won with my lucky prescription from Boots)

I admire Growler's honesty but it would be as well to get checked out by the doctor ~ sometimes a delayed reaction or injury can show up and a medical report from now would be useful to follow up any subsequent claim. You have up to 6 years I believe.
