Insurance company should be dealing directly with the issue. Main issue for you as that you will lose your no claims bonus. Cost of repairs etc should be of no direct concern for you!!I've now been told she's claiming she has whiplash and her insurance company have said her car is unroadworthy but I don't know if that can be fixed or is it a right off. Can anyone help me
I always find it strange that people think it's ok to steal from an insurance company but don't think it's ok to break into someone's house and steal their TV. It's the same thing.Thank you, that's put my mind at rest, I've had shopping trolleys hit me harder, yet whiplash is the easy option for anyone to sue!
I agree, apparently if it's genuine and they have to take time off work and need to have treatment then they normally sue privately as an insurance company will only pay out so much, if you want more then you have to sue the person directly, however then you need to provide proof and any physio worth anything will be able to tell if they're lying or not ! Which is why they find out first if your fully comp or not, and to me that is stealingI always find it strange that people think it's ok to steal from an insurance company but don't think it's ok to break into someone's house and steal their TV.

You are right but I only have a slight dent above my front passenger tyre, I was stationary and we collided after I drove off ( must have been 10mph at the most) I hit the back drivers side of her car, I totally admitted liability and wasn't worried as it was just a "clip" but now I feel let down and angry, there must be so many genuine cases who don't claim because of people lying just to get moneyIs anyone here medically qualified to assess low velocity impacts on soft tissue?
So I wouldn't be so hasty to judge... they were in an accident through no fault of their own. They have to take time out of work to sort their care, get checked out medically... If they have no medical card and there's a chance of whiplash, there goes hundreds of euros never mind the time spent at physio, exercising etc.
Now maybe in this case they are chancing it, but I would don't always assume that everyone who claims for whiplash is.

Why are we so different from other European nations, that we need 3 times the compensation to make us better, and magically skip out of the courts, or it just Ireland, that has a problem with the soft tissue diagnoses ?
