- but he was advised by solicitor that he was wrong ( he should not stop to let someone cross) and he should not pursue the other party for repairs to his car.
I got xrays . Was told soft tissue damage.
While it wont be a popular comment, I have sympathy for the person that is responsible for the accident, as opposed to the person who caused the accident
You need eyes in the front, back and side of your head when driving.
Your watching the car in front, the ones to the left and right of you, the speed limit, general distraction whether it be the kids in the back or the the cyclist avoiding the potholes and so on, that you least expect the car in front to brake on a roundabout, and while you should be in a position to avoid a collision, the danger zones are generally reduced. But thats why they are documented as accidents.
I'd get a different solicitor . . you can't be driving into the back of other cars and then blaming them.- but he was advised by solicitor that he was wrong ( he should not stop to let someone cross) and he should not pursue the other party for repairs to his car.
If they have accepted liability, then they should also cover your medical costs.
This suggests they have been involvedIt's not clear that the other insurance company was ever involved
All sounds a bit fishy to me to be honest which is why I will not be posting anything (apart from this)His insurance covered my vehicle repairs, and I have now claim with my solicitor.

The driver behind the OP had no business being on the rounabout until OP had cleared it. Check the Rules of the Roadyou least expect the car in front to brake on a roundabout
This was not an accident. Driving into the car in front on a roundabout is careless at best, dangerous at worst.But thats why they are documented as accidents.
Agree. Cheap but dangerous solution for local authority, potentially lethal for pedestrians given so many drivers can't/won't use roundabouts correctly.Surrounding roundabouts with pedestrian islands is a dreadful idea in my book (clear marker it should be traffic controlled junction), but given that roundabouts have them, the other driver should have been more aware of the possibility of next car having to slow or break due to pedestrian activity.

No, you're not reading my reply correctly, just creating sentences I didn't write. Try reading what I actually wrote.If I am reading your reply correctly, you are saying that only one vehicle is allowed at any one time on a roundabout ?
