Rear Ended...

[wilch]

Hmmm, just spoke to a guy at Shannons again asking about the cost of a hire car. Seeing as I wasn't at fault, I was thinking maybe it would be a no brainer for the other guy's insurance to cover it... apparently not so.

Basically what he said was, I will have to put it in writing as to why I need a hire car, then Shannons will submit that to the other insurer and even then there's no guarantee that the other insurer will pay for the hire car. Fair enough. All good. I can handle that.

Now, that wasn't exactly a pleasant phone call either... Despite the fact that I mentioned that I was just enquiring about it, and that I understand there's no coverage for a hire car in my policy, the person on the other end of the phone kinda sighed, then said, "there's no coverage for a hire car in your policy"....To which I had to respond to (nicely), "I understand that, that's why I mentioned it first... etc etc"....

The first few phone calls that I had with Shannons were good. The people put me at ease. I felt like they were on my side (as they should...seeing as I wasn't at fault). But right now, I don't feel so comfortable... :\

ah wells. Maybe the guy I had on the phone was having a bad day. I'm sure everything will be fine.

Man sorry to hear the bad news.

Did you find out from the other party why they hit you from behind?

Did you ask why they didnt see you lol?

OMG i remember ages ago..

I was sitting at the set of traffic lights (5 way in sutho shire for those who live around).. Basically i look to my left, and theres this guy just reveresing slowly.. the guy behind him beeped at him, but the guy still kept reveresing.. Slowly tapped the car behind him lol.. no idea what happened nor do i know what he was thinking at the time.. lol..

[Beer Baron]

lol, I'm pretty sure kero was joking guys.

I'm sure shanons will be fine. if you don't have hire car in your policy I wouldn't get one and hope the other insurer will pay. They may not in which case you'll be out of pocket.

I have only ever made one claim against my own insurance and that was with shanons and they were excellent.

[Moanie]

Yep, those were the lights.

I just got back from my panel beater's. He's taken photo's and written down all the damage and parts that need replacing, and he's going to go find prices now. If all goes well the car should be with him next week. He said it'd take maybe 2 weeks.

I hope it only takes 2 weeks.

I'm "working from home" today. Damn my neck and back hurt. :\

awwww what a hassle! to be in pain and have to drive around trying to wort all that out!!!

[jrocket]

Yeah mate I understand your problem. I too have been the victim of dumb ass useless drivers. I stop for a tree on the road unable to pass as the tree blocked my side of the road and with oncomming traffic I had to wait for a break to get around it. Then this dumb bitch just runs into the back of me at like 70km/h not even attempting to brake. Mind you this was a straight road with plenty of room to see traffic. I had headlights on andn brake lights burning but this slart still managed to hit me.

Now 4 months later and I am still without a car.

Think next time I might just take it out on the other driver a bit more and say they tripped.

[Lepperfish]

That sux, but because you think it was a non accident car that makes it even worse.

[wilch]

Did you ask why they didnt see you lol?

Yep. Well I kinda said, "What the FU(K were you doing?" lol

He mentioned something about a CD falling down. :\

Ah well, shit happens.

I just wish my damned neck and back didn't hurt.

make sure you go see someone straight away!!!! And make sure it's someone good aswell!!!

the damage to my back is more than likely permanent because I didn't have the best treatment straight up.

[Ashy Larry]

I actually did. I won't post them though. Just doesn't "feel" right to do so. Damage on his car compared to mine was very little though.
