as u all shud no above.. my accident where it wasnt my fault
read my docs.. and spoke to insurance declared value £2500 with mods added (i think) when asked how much now i said £3500 all mods included and yes its all declared
plus possible personal injury iv a slight sore shoulder and lower-mid back. and any other costs cos im off work 2day . maybe all week minium cos i do liftin in a warehouse etc.
just wanted ur views on payouts etc
but im leaving it all to insurance just its hard getin thru sumtimes

My gf had the same injury as you she got £5k payout plus the cost of her car. It takes a while for it to come through though.
I had an accident and broke my leg in 2 places I only got about £9k but couldn't walk for 8 months due to operations etc (It was about 4 years ago though)

if ya repair a wrote off car you will struggle to sell it on after as it will show on ya documents, i had a bent axle 3 months ago, drove it once or twice since then it feels fine had to be jigged though due to a bent chassi but its as straight as it was the day it came out the factory hence the £4000 repair bill

I agree.
My Corsa had to be "jigged" after its wee bump, and it never felt the same after the 2 months of repairs.

Well mine had similar damage to his and now its repaired it feels exactly the smae as it did before, i certainly cant tell any difference. If its repaired properly surely it shud be fine...

sheesh that wud be cheap

they cud sell my parts and make a profit surely
