Glad to see it's all coming together

I am really sorry to see your beloved car in such bad state

, moreover, i am very sorry for your injuries.

Have you consider taking an action against the MIB

http://www.mib.org.uk/Default.htm

They are for people who has been in an accident against uninsured drivers, you will get some compensation in the claim, not as much as you would if the other driver is insured but it is at least something. It sounds to me you have some whiplash injuries to neck and lower back. From my experience (not personal, but cases that i dealt come across), it can take from a few weeks to months to resolve, depends if you go onto some physiotherapy treatment. Taking some anti-inflammatory medicine usually helps.

I do realise it has been over a week since it happened, i hope you are feeling better and no long term problems from the accident.

At the moment, the MIB don't need to be involved as the car was insured... just not for him. If the owner's (his gf) insurance company won't pay up, I'll have to go to the MIB. Have already rung them for advice and they were extremely helpful

I went to the docs about my back and he said it'd take a few weeks to settle down. I've started back at the gym now and it's flared up a little bit, but it's mostly OK. The only time when it hurts consistently is when I'm in bed. I've stopped taking Ibuprofen/Paracetamol, but might start taking Ibu during the night because I keep waking up and having to move around. Will give it a go tonight and see if it makes any diff.

Anyway, thanks for all the well wishes guys. Will keep you updated.

Just a quick update. I had a letter yesterday to tell me that the guy who hit me has had a court summons. He's up for driving without a license, failing to stop and driving without insurance on 27th May. What do you reckon he'll get? Smacked bum and £20 fine, payable in 500 monthly installments of 4p?

My back got much worse a few weeks after the accident, so I've had a couple of sessions with a chiro which has made a massive difference. I actually got my first whole night's sleep without waking up due to it hurting on Saturday

On the insurance front, I'm still wrangling with the insurance company over the payout and the guy dealing with the third party claim has had no response from the insurance company of the girl who owned the car. They reckon that whether she gave him permission or not, the insurance company has to pay out, but we'll see. Fingers crossed!

In other news, I really miss my car

Afraid I couldn't even begin to suggest what he'll get with our crap justice system.

Glad to hear your back is getting better

and keep pushing the insurance company, never give up, never surrender

LOL @ Desmo !

Anyway, not all insurance wants to drag it out.

Had a new case came in the office last Friday, yesterday we requested a cheque from our client for £5000 to pay off to get rid of it.

Glad the chiro is working!

Can you claim compo for your back too? Mine costs me a fortune
