Morning Crash

if remember rightly
2 yrs ago
but don't exept the first offer
is the point

The insurance assessor has been out and said the bike is a write off. Should have a value for me by the end of the week.

I discussed retaining the bike and they said they'd generally expect that anyway. Ideally I'd want to sell rather than repair, so my question is, do I sell it as a single unit or is it better to strip it for parts?

I received a "Soft Tissue" shoulder injury as a result of an off 10 years ago. I have never recovered properly and it still hurts and restricts my movement.

The initial 3rd parties medical check said I would be recovered in 6 months and they made an offer of about £1000 quid. In the meantime my GP referred me to an orthopedic surgeon specialising in shoulders who looked at the initial report checked the qualification and was amazed that somebody with no status in orthopedics was making assessments of injury and prognosis.

So armed with his report my solicitors went into action. After 3 years we were approaching court when the 3rd party insurers asked for another report. Their orthopedic specialist confirmed my injuries were still current and I was unlikely to ever full mobility or be pain free. I settled for a 10 grand payout. But I would gladly give back double not to feel like I have knife stuck in my shoulder as I type this.

So make sure you fully document your injuries and all problems you experience as a result. If it impacts on your ability to work. Get it wrote down.

I am exactly the same as Timwilky, had shoulder damage over 10yrs ago now and was told be ok in 12mths and excepted about £1500. I sit here typing this now in a constant pain like said above its like being permanently stabed in the shoulder and i also suffer in my neck from tensing up with the shoulder pain. If able wait until a proper diagnosis of repair time can be given and also if you will ever be 100% and pain free...
