Hi all,
On the way back from my recent wedding, my mate got taken out by a Pug 306. Basically, the pug driver had lost control and slammed into the front of my mate's 54 plate focus TDCi, causing a horrific amount of damage to the front of the focus. The front end is basically missing, the engine is damage and pushed back, creasing up the floor pan etc - total write-off.
Anyway, although the car was insured through Zurich, the driver was not covered. A bit or wrangling later and they've agreed to pay the claim but are now messing on telling my mate that he'll need to summons the owner & driver??? He's got a Mazda 3 on hire from those nice people down at helphire but is starting to get slightly concerned at the length of time it is taking to get his dosh and get a new car due to the agreeement you sign with helphire. It's been over a calander month now and it's still dragging on.
Any experience/advice for him?
Cheers.
