The other driver's insurers have already been in touch with us, they will give us a courtesy car and arrange for an assessor to come out to look at our car. The insurers say it depends on what the assessor says as to whether our car will be scrapped or repaired, as expected. Frankly, I don't care one way or the other, I only know that if it's scrapped, it'll likely leave us without a car for a while, as they'll no doubt want the courtesy car back as soon as they scrap/pay out for ours.
Meanwhile, all this seems to have scrambled husband's brains even more, his forgetfulness and confusion are worse than ever. Which means I'm having to explain and repeat things constantly.
It's a pity it happened whilst we're away, I have only sporadic WiFi and phone signal here meaning I can't really deal with it all until we get home. I've already had several emails with attachments from the insurers, which I can't open and deal with until we're home (tomorrow). It will also disrupt our plans for the rest of the week.
And of course it's more work and problems for me. Needless to say I didn't sleep very well at all last night.
Well... at least you'll get a courtesy car. I do hope, for both your sakes, that it all gets sorted out quickly. At least the other driver isn't disputing fault. Got to find the silver lining amongst all those clouds! xx

Oh this is a rotten situation for you to have to deal with, what a shame. If it's any consolation, since the other person accepts liability, the facts are not in dispute and your car was stationary and parked at the time, the insurance company normally shouldn't need any real additional detail from you. But I can appreciate that the logistics of buying a replacement car will be a right pain for you, if they write it off.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear. Buying a replacement car is something you could well do without but at least you have wheels for now. Small wonder your sleep patterns are disturbed.

Thank goodness you are getting a courtesy car. If they try and take it off you too soon, you should play on both your health issues and tell them you cannot manage without a car for any length of time at all and that you need to keep it.
