We got hit a fortnight ago, waiting to turn right stationary and indicating, land rover behind pulls up and stops also, few second go by as we wait for traffic to clear so we can make the turn and...BANG! Hyundai driven by a lady apparently didn't see either of us stopped at 9am on a Saturday morning in clear and quiet conditions, and hit the trailer the land rover was pulling, which shot under the land rover and jerked it forward, which then hit us.
Her insurers, Admiral, have been very good, claiming all liability and getting the car fixed and replacement car within 48 hours. The only issue is that they are desperate for myself and my daughter, who were in the car at the time of the accident, to settle for personal injury asap, offered £500 each at first, then double that, before I'd even got in to see our GP, despite telling me that they pay out according to a scale of how long the injuries will affect you, so why would I settle before the full extent is known...
So, as said above, her fault hands down and surprised she's fighting it.
