I'm wondering if someone can provide clarification.
I had a small accident with another car approximately 1.5 years ago. I hit the other drivers back wheel as they were driving out of the estate I live in and ended up leaving some minor scratches on the back rear panel plus minor damage to his rear wheel. My indicator light was broken. That was all ok and I agreed to buy him a new wheel for his 15 year old rover and we said we wouldn't involve the insurance companies. But I had the misfortune to give him my insurance details and thereafter, he put in a claim on my insurance for neck injury and €800 worth of damage to his car. Now, I'm unable to move insurer until the payment is decided upon and it hasn't yet been resolved. My private car insurance is up for renewal but has only gone down by €100 in the past 2 years whereas other friends insurance has nearly halved! It seems there's nothing I can do if the insurance company decides to pay out, I can't move insurer and disputing the claim hasn't resulted in any feedback from the insurer?
