GTR down

[O.C.]

Hey Asif,....I hope that you are feeling a bit better today and not too sore 

[Lonewolf]

Asif, just a thought. If you haven't already done so make sure you update the Officer who is dealing with your incident with the extent of your injuries. Having a record of your attendance at hospital or your GP always helps also. You might not want to but make sure you seriously consider putting a claim into the other parties insurance company for injuries sustained, & any other hardship caused due to the collision, trust me the other parties insurance company will be more surprised if you dont!
Any bruising etc, get it photographed ideally by the Police or alternatively by your wife. 

It may go against the grain, but handled correctly you could come out of this with a new GTR, (magnesium GTR of course). 

A claim like this will easily be worth £5k - £10k.

+1 from Mr Wolf ... plus keep ANY receipts for taxis and travel that you have to use where normally your bike would take you.
Clothing damaged ? Again receipts and any photos of damaged goods and in their original state .. Keep a diary EVERY DAY of how you feel and the injuries you have and the pain killers you are taking ... write down date and time of phoning the officer (OIC) and if you don't get to speak to him make sure you get the name of the person passing your message ... do that and all will go a lot more smoothly in months to come I can assure you.
Hope all is on the mend Asif.

Bloody hell Rusty it must be compensation city in the Met, it was like you were quoting that from your very own aide memoire.

What's the benefit in getting in touch with the officer that attended? I've not checked the clothing, but it did take an almighty whack. Although the helmet didn't take a hit, the insurance company have said it shouldn't be used again.

I am on the mend. At least today I can sit around without much pain.

[Lonewolf]

Asif, ultimately your insurance company and the other chaps company will want to have sight of the collision form. Its whats callled a disclosable document, although some of it will be restricted.
What this document contains carries a lot of weight as to what the insurance company do in respect of paying you out. Occasionally also the attending Officer will be interviewed by a solicitor acting for the other side.
Make it work in your favour, be honest with it obviously but claim for everything as a starting point.

That sounds like very good advice Steve...and good luck with the claim Asif, its good to hear that you are on the mend 

[Rusty]

Steve  ...    ... As you well know The Met is the centre of The Universe and years on Traffic have it engrained into what little brain I have left !!

Asif,  I hope you washed it before it went. that would have put a thousand pounds on its value

It's a black one, worth a grand more as standard.
