If you don't mind me asking John'o (VeetyR), who are you insured with as I was interested in you being able to buy your bike back from them, something that a lot of insurers won't do

Chris.

From what i can gather most insurance co's will let you have the vehicle back for the salvage price(as per the engineers report). But only if the bike is a Cat-C or D write off.....Cat A means the bike is effed and there are no usable parts and cat B means the bike has salvagable parts but i think u have to be a registered breaker to buy a cat B damaged bike form an official source(insurance co's etc)

As for who i am insured with its EBIKE...The 3rd party(who will give me back the bike) is direct line.

And just for prosterity my solicitors who sorted it all was Rider Support Services.

Cheers for that info John'o.
I thought the same as you about most companies allowing you to buy your bike back from them, once they've paid out. But I've heard a few people say that they were not allowed to, and that's bikes which have been written off with a Cat C or D

Chris.

Dirty b**tch, lying cow( sorry ladies )..........

Update................

The 3rd party has finally put in her statement to the insurance company just before the 3mnth cut off period( i think she was advised )......

Anyway, according to her she was 3/4 of the way into her U-turn and stationary when i overtook her at speed and lost control of my bike!!!!

P*ss taking f*ckbag......what a crock of sh*t......If that was the case my bike would be effed and the engineers damage report would reflect this.......As it stands at the moment my solicitors are now preparing a letter to her insurance company contesting this statement based on the evidence collated over the last few mnths, telling them it would be folly for them to continue down this route as i would wipe the floor with them/her in court.

I will go to court as well( if it comes to that ) i dont mind standing there defending myself because i know what the crack was......its just a bol*ock ache and more of an inconveniance than anything else.

Why cant people just be straight up and say things how they are??....she is trying to cover her a*se which is silly because the evidence doesnt support her "allegations".

I hate liars man......if i was a female i would go round there and scratch her damn eyes out so she cant drive and endanger anyone else on the road. Irresponsible tw@t.

anyway rant over ....and again ... i will keep yall updated as this progresses.

Update

Just recieved a call from paul at RSS.........


Direct Line have admitted liability on behalf of their insured in the face of physical evidence and are going to pay out £2100 for the bike and £1366 for clothing and minor injuries.
Total : £3466

On top of this I have got my storm back and can put it back on the road with a few parts(about £200 worth) and after an independant engineers inspection to say its roadworthy(cost £50-£80).

They will also have to pay for hire of the bikes i have had in the interim @£59 per day. aproxx 95 days hire so far(£5605)

This has been a long slog and it has played heavily on my mind not knowing what was going to happen(even tho i was reassured all the way by RSS). Sleepless nights had me waking up screaming "my storm, my money" covered in sweat

Now that it is all drawing to a close i would just like to put in a few good words for the people that have made it right for me.

Rider Support Services. They are absolutely ACE, Steven Douglas and Paul Pavlou have done a fine job in doing what they have. I had my reservations to start but they were totally on my side 100% of the time and if any of you guys do happen to have a mishap on your wheels involving another person then make them your first call. I filled in their forms, they sorted a replacement vehicle for me, dealt with the insurance co's, got my bike back and got me a payout to boot.
If i would do anything different next time it would be to ensure i had a witness thats all, as it would have speeded things up a bit.

I will still be a bit sceptical until i recieve the chq as it still hasnt sunk in yet that "justice" has prevailed. But it appears to have, so now i am off to the toilet with a hein gerricke catalogue and i am not coming out until i go blind( from reading it ) .

P.S : HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

dooooooood sweet m8 sweet

Brilliant John'o Excellent news

Chris.

Well done VeetyR

I'm definately going to look up those RSS people.

Glad someone has had a result. It's now been 21 month I've been fighting with the Motor insurance Bureau MIB over my accident that was caused by an uninsured east European. Higgins & co solicitors have been great. The MIB is shoot. I'm now waiting for a court date. If I had not been fully comp I would have been right in the sh**.
The east European was found guilty in court but the MIB are still arguing over it.

UPDATE :


FA LA LA LA LA FA LA LAA LA ALAAAAAAAA

that my friends is the sound of the fat lady singing....


I am sitting here with a chq for £2100 am i a beaming

the rest is to follow shortly once claim number 2 has finished.

Now that i have it i feel like popping a thk u letter thru that lying mofo's door .........very tempting indeed but as in "my name is earl" i think i will leave "karma" to sort it out.....almost certainly in the price of her next years premium.

it happend to my to u turn guy was all i am sory didnt see you
all my fault please keep him away he looks angry

then it was on paper he said he was turning right and i was going to fast
about 60mph

the outcome was off duty copper 2 nurses all seen it and said i was doing about 20mph a got my bike back and £3000 pluse another £1500 for the bike as i sold it
still think i should hit him

Good news John'o

Yanto,
No doubt the witnesses helped

Chris.
