Hi,
So my wife was involved in a 50mph accident today with a 3rd party, the outcome being her car was undriveable and it was towed to a recovery compound organised by the police.
A couple of questions, if that's ok:
Our insurance company, Admiral, are reluctant to give my wife a courtesy car which is standard under the terms of our fully comprehensive insurance as they feel the 3rd party may make a claim on us.....
Secondly do I have to get it repaired at a Mercedes body shop as it is currently on a PCP via Mercedes Benz?
Finally we have independent witnesses, photos and the 3rd party verbally admitted liability to the Police Officer but he had a wife, baby and small child none of which where wearing seat belts......so we expect a counter claim. Anyone else had similar claims?
My gut is that the 3rd party wanted to be hit, as he has a V reg Toyota Corolla and mine a 09 C Class Mercedes Benz.......clearly this just a hunch.
Should I get a Solicitor involved?
What a day......
