Somebody reversed into the side of our car this afternoon, in a car park. Husband was in the car, along with Betty, thankfully neither was hurt. I was inside a shop so didn't see what happened, apparently it also involved a third car, a learner driver (being taught privately, not by a professional) who caused the collision. The driver of the car which crashed into ours accepted full responsibility, he was apparently observing the learner driver and didn't see our car. The front wing, driver's door and rear door are bashed in, husband says he's fairly sure our car will be a write-off due to its age.
Due to his disorganised mind, he finds it difficult to explain things properly, he's already told me twice what happened and I'm still totally confused on the details, so writing the accident report, which obviously I'll have to do, will be a nightmare.
The car is drivable at the moment, but if the insurance writes it off we'll be without a vehicle for a while, which, amongst other things, will make it difficult to look at other cars.
I could just sit and howl.
Oh, bugger! It never rains but it pours. I hope it can all be sorted quickly. xx
ReplyDeleteThat would have been a shock for you to come out of the store to. eek.
ReplyDeleteThis actually happened to us about 5 weeks ago. The person crashing us admitted it was his fault and our car was so old it was considered wrecked. We did our claim with his insurance and we had the money back in two weeks. I hope this happens better for you. I did notify our insurance but did not claim through them.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry - just the last thing you need.
ReplyDeleteOh no, it's just one thing after another. Hope you get this sorted quickly, not great possibly having to look for another replacement car x
ReplyDeleteOh, no. What a shocker. Thank heavens no-one was hurt but you really didn't need that! xx
ReplyDeleteThat happened to us a couple of years ago too. Glad no one was hurt.
ReplyDeleteNo chance of a courtesy car?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad no one was hurt, what a shock it must have been though. Hopefully as they have accepted full responsibility the insurance claim should be dealt with quickly. Fingers crossed.
