Urgent - insurance question

[Wonko]

In addition to what JRandom wrote.

Credit Union/Tower cannot do anything until their client lodges a claim. Once a claim is lodged by the other party Cajun's claim for damages can be added onto it.(otherwise anyone could ring up and say xyz damaged my car, pay me money)

Aside from you, does the other damaged party(the ute) have any luck with contacting the person? How do they feel about what happened and who is at fault? Due to lack of comunication have you thought about informing the Police of the incident? That way you have a formal record of what happened from your point of veiw. Would be good if the ute driver was there and other witnesses.

Hope it works out for you and that Mrs Cajun wasn't hurt.

But yes, they do the hard yards for you.

Yeah, sure. If you've got 3 months to wait for your money while they sit around with their thumbs up their collective arses!!! I still haven't figured out why insurance companies haven't made it into the modern era yet. I mean, it's bloody difficult even getting them to pick up the phone, let alone e-mail, faxes, etc! Everything has to be done by snail mail & it takes for-bloody-ever.

i think the back car pays for damages to his/your wifes car your company pays for damages to the car in front of your wife.
i think the back car and your wife are both at fault by law(i think).
man good luck with sorting it out quickly as satisfactorily, get right up them buddy & don't ease up till it's sorted...

750y - was car at back fault, my wife was stoped when she was hit, way i know it rear car pays for all damages, cause all cars were at a stop apart from rear which hit

Wonko - other party as full insurance and are going thru there company, the rear car is at fault he said it was his fault on the scene. The police did arrive, since ever other car could be driven away, they were gone by time police got there, but she has contact details of them all.

Wife has contact details for everone involved in crash.

We went and did a bit of a drive by the guys house yesterday just to set the wifes mind at ease, to make sure we could see the car at address given, which we good. He finally got hold of her this morning, and they are putting a claim in with there insurer today. Hopeful get the ball rolling. Already got a couple of quotes made out to repair the car(good working in area with 3 panelbeaters around), just so there are quotes already, pretty so saves that sorta hassel

Slim - yeah it took them 10 mins to anwser the phone at tower, and then in turn was hold for another 10 mins, but once she got hold of supervisor at Tower she got a good bit of info.

Cheers for the help guys and girls

once you start ringing them and asking them if they want receipts for taxi rides so they can pay you for the time without a bike they can start moving pretty fast.
