Accident
Quote drivers who have been in accidents must be getting insurance from somewhere
Yes. From their existing Insurers.
Liam, Direct Insurers will not touch you as you 'fall outside their underwriting criteria', in other words you don't fall into the cherry picking category.
Start with the company that paid out the claim as you were Insured with them. Failing this, €7k does not seem to me like a figure that should preclude you from gaining quotations, unless, there are some other mitigating circumstances that we are not aware of.
