Good luck, by the time they add the admin fee!!!!Im going for a rebait as I'm up for 8000 miles and only done 2.500 lol
So, so right.Almost certainly in the event of a claim.
They don't like paying out if they can possibly avoid it!
I had a fairly new Volvo written off in a 50-car pile-up on the M40 in sudden thick fog. We hadn't hit anything, but when stopped 5-6 cars ran into us from behind at high speed. The insurance company tried really hard not to have to pay out ... even sent an investigator to question me about everything. Eventually they did pay and it was recorded as not my fault. But if anything I had told them was false it would have been very different.
Best bit was that my wife and I walked away unharmed.
I would have had them in the courts, anyone hits you from behind its their fault, happened to me many years back at Sandyknows roundabout a mile from me, my nice complete rebuilt skoda and respray was bent like a camel, £17 grand came in handy, but still have a week back and sciatica in one leg.I had a similar experience on the M1 years ago. Multiple pile up - 11 cars locked together through driving too close.
We were the only car that didn't hit the car in front, we managed to stop with a reasonable distance between us. The car behind me slammed straight into the back of me and the rest followed suit behind him.
In my case though, even though I had not hit anything, the insurance decided to do a 'knock for knock' and I had to claim on my own policy and lost my NCD.
I argued it until I was blue in the face but they insisted it was common practice in such circumstances.
Yes the collision went the same as happened to you.I had a similar experience on the M1 years ago. Multiple pile up - 11 cars locked together through driving too close.
