Crashed last night :(

So never mind the bickering, what bike are you getting?

Not sure yet, I haven't looked into it too much as I realistically need the insurance to be sorted before I get a new bike otherwise I have to declare this as a "fault" accident on my insurance while it is still under investigation... Or so I have been told by a few insurers I have spoken to when testing the water on another SV.

Did you remember to claim for your damaged riding gear?

Yeah i have claimed for that as well but at the moment only the claim for the bike has been processed and dealt with by the 3rd party. If nothing comes of that I think I paid something like £50 for the year to cover my gear as well so will claim back on that as I will need a new Jacket, Trousers, Helmet and Boots

Good job as it can add up to a tidy some of money if you had to buy boots, gloves, trousers, jacket and helmet.

Get well soon matey and keep safe

I find it hard to believe they would have paid out at all if they were disputing liability. Are you sure it's not just the value of the claim that is still under investigation? Maybe some insurance insider can comment.

Think someone briefly touched on this before, they may just be paying up a "fair" amount such as market value in the hope that it will shut the insurers up and not go any further, such as claiming for gear and injury time off work etc

My claims handler specifically told me they have paid the money on a none purger basis meaning they have paid it out to keep costs down and as a good will gesture but has not accepted liability and will not accept it until the police report has come through.
