Involved in an accident- Advice needed please
 

Hey there,
Was heading home from London, and on way was hit by a car.
At that time I was on a roundabout turning right. Car pulled in front of me and I hit him on the front right bumper panel. My left side of the bike is heavily damaged. This is obviously his fault right?

Looks like the car is at fault.Did you have your left indicator on?Any witnesses?It might be worth getting hold of a bike specialist legal firm for assistance.White Dalton is one that others on here have used to good effect.Dont forget to document any injuries you have,however minor and any kit/clothing that is damaged.You may find that compensation for the bike is derisory,so injury/kit can make up for that.
Good luck.

Thanks a lot for your advice, my indicator was on and unfortunately no one stoped to help. I will contact Dalton asap.
My leg is not too bad, I don't really want to deal with this at the moment and was thinking of just asking for £300 to get everything fixed. What do you think?
Many thanks

As long as you are all legit Id go through insurance every time.Id report the incident to plod as well,especially as you have an injury.If you dont,the other party can turn it back on you and make a claim against you for their damage and other losses.Straight down the line if you can or things can get messy.

REALLY sorry to read this Emankiwi. I very much doubt that £300 is enough. Get an estimate. Go in high, not low.

Yes all legit and insured, will go though insurance then. All advice Is much appreciated!

Thank you, will go though insurance and will try to buy the bike back if they want to write it off. If anyone has anything else to say please do .

Re: Involved in an accident- Advice needed please
 

Definitely report it to the police and get an incident number if you can. Also go to your docs or A&E to get checked over.

I got rear ended in my car on Friday 13th last November on the way to my Mod 2 which I then failed. Bad day all round. Any way the damage was minimal, just a scuffed and cracked bumper in all honesty but his insurance tried to offer me a repair or £300. I wanted to get it repaired by my own repairer as it was a cherished car bur knew £300 was well off the mark so I got a quote and emailed to his insurance for near £600 and with a bit of persuasion they paid up.

Perseverance is key, harass them until you get what you want.

Great advice everyone, didn't know it was compulsory to call police when you are inquired. I called them and got a reference number. Will be calling white dalton on Monday. Will update this when I know more.
Thank you everyone!!! :)
