My partner was recently involved in car accident where she was hit from the rear. The third party was at fault. The third party is keen to compensate my partner without going through insurance as she is a young driver. However the car is a not repairable as repair estimate is €2,000 to €2,500 and car value is less. However of more concern is the whiplash injury sustained, this has been assessed and is quiet serious. My question is should she accept a settlement outside insurance or go through insurance. Also I'm not sure what settlement to accept as will have out of pocket expenses, pain and discomfort, loss of car, loss of earnings as both me and partner have had to take time off work. Also at this stage it is very hard to know how long lasting the injury will be to estimate extent of compensation.
