Re: Car hit my bike over - whilst parked in a M/C only bay!

RH. So a quick call to 101 has given me the name and collar number of one of the officers who attended. He was the one who logged the check against the third parties car registration on the PNC. The logged entry has no other details on the incident such as driver name or whether he was identified/spoken to etc. so it looks like the officers haven't managed to wait around and speak to the driver after all. I also asked 101 if the owner/driver of the third party car had reported the incident and there was no record of that either (we're now 48 hours after the incident) so it would appear that the driver has failed in his obligation to report the accident/damage within 24 hours. I've requested for the officer who attended to call me later today when he comes on shift and I plan to ask him if he waited at the scene? if he saw/spoke to the driver? what are the drivers details (name & address)? if he will be investigating under section 170 of the road traffic act? Am I getting this right? I really don't want to come unstuck on this. I've passed on what I've got from the call to 101 to my insurance company to add a bit of weight to my claim. Thanks for the help. |

Dkid,
I am an insurance claims handler. From what you have said, I don't think that you need to concern yourself. Your insurer will be able to identify the TP insurer from the registration number and from what you said, it appears to be an open and shut case. They should settle your claim and they will then pursue the TP insurer to recover the cost of repairing your vehicle and paying for bike hire. They will not want to delay settling as the bike hire will be costing them. If the TP is not insured, that is their problem, not yours. Apart from the excess that you will have to pay if your insurers can't recover their outlay.

Thanks mate, that's reassuring to hear! You'd be a good person to ask for some advice on a slightly different subject that's got me slightly worried. I've recently purchased one or two aftermarket bits, nothing major but I've not yet gotten around to declaring them as modifications on my policy. My aftermarket exhaust etc is all declared. Are the TP insurance company likely to want to trip me up on this or given the circumstances of the accident will they be irrelevant? Btw, it's worth mentioning that none of the damaged parts are arftermarket bits. All parts requiring repair/replacement are oem honda parts that were standard on the bike.

When I claimed against a 3rd party for mine they didn't care about the mods that I hadn't gotten round to declaring like my exhaust. Don't know if that's the norm though.

My plan was to add them to my policy at renewal when it's due come May tbh.
I'm sure we all buy shiny things for our bikes and rush home to fit them. I doubt most of us are in such a hurry to get on the phone to out insurers though. It's one of those things you keep meaning to get around to... |

Yeah, and to be honest in the case of exhausts, for the pointy anyway, most aftermarkets are a lot cheaper than a stock one. Unless maybe you have a swish full race system or something.

Dkid,
every insurer has their own rules on declaring after market parts.
