Hi there,

just wondering if i could get peoples advice, i was in a small car accident this weekend. now i was not at fault in the accident.

I think i have hurt my neck in the accident, as it feels sore and hurts when i move it. How do i go about claiming my injury? Do i go to the doctor and get a report and then submit that to the insurance company so that the person at fault can pay for any medical bills?

Thanks Michael

edit: i am with just-cars insurance if that matters

personal injury insurance is covered under your compulsory 3rd party personal injury and registration that you pay on your vehicle. You wouldnt claim it through Just Cars.

Its a claim you make through the government. im not 100% who you actually speak to, but if you call DPI on MOnday im sure they could tell you as they deal with rego and licensing etc.

first things first is to go to a doctor asap and tell them the full story and report all the aches and pains etc your feeling so its all down on record.

Im not 100% sure who you claim it through but you can get a nice amount of compensation for it.

let me know how you go michael, however i'm going to ring the DPI monday too..

i still have a sore neck from my crash, and i should really have rang the DPI earlier, i did go to the emergancy department straight away though, and let them know it was a motor vehicle accident.

money for car mods would be good. :P

Yeah, the problem with this kinda things is, it might not hurt bad now.. but down the road it might just suddenly haunt you. I don't know about the aussie system thou, but regardless, go to a hospital and get a full x-ray and mri just in case, and find someone to claim. Good luck and take care mikey. Hope u're feeling alright. Was the line involved in the accident?

P/s: Mitchy, has it landed and registered? :P

Go to the doctor as soon as you can.

They'll give you a form to sign and probably refer you to a physio, they'll give you an incident report to fill out.

You'll also need to report the accident to the police as there was someone hurt and the insurance form needs a police report number.

I was rear ended at the end of feb and my neck didn't hurt too bad, went ot the doctor anyway. Lucky I did as I had some damage to my neck and shoulders, was all covered by their rego insurance.

Yeah if you obtained an injury during the acident your supposed to ring the police within 24hrs else there's no real way of determining if the accident caused the injury.

ps. you get my reply Michael about my dash, I wasn't sure if it send or not :)

like people have said go to the cops asap. my mrs was hit by a car and busted her leg up pretty bad. go to the cops and they give u an incident report sheet to fill out.

give them all the details of what happened and who was invoved and the cops sort it out from there.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
