Man of Honour
Hi guys,
After a bit of help really so I can go down the right route.
We were on our way to Devon yesterday for a half term holiday when we were smashed into from behind. Turns out the woman who drove into us was drunk, and she was arrested at the scene. We have her insurance details from the police.
As it was a long drive my friend was driving at the time. He's got drive other cars on his own insurance but is not named on my policy.
My insurance have told me to speak to the drunk driver's insurance directly. They've said they can't help me until Tuesday due to the bank holiday. I need to hire a car as mine is not driveable. I can't till Tuesday for them to sort this out.
3 of the 5 of us are also suffering sore necks and backs.
None of us really know what to do with this.
Do I use one of these accident help companies or just try and sort this all out ourselves and hope her insurance will reimburse us as part of the overall insurance of the car?
Any help would be appreciated as no one needs to be helping.
Thanks,
Mal
