Crash latest

Well, I've got RSS on the case now. Carole Nash bod seemed
disappointed, and tried to advise me to go with their solicitors.
They may be the biggest personal injury solicitors in the country
(Irwin Mitchell), but they aren't (AFAIK) bike accident specialists,
and lots of people here reckon that RSS rock. They've got all the
details I can give them now.

When I spoke to the janitor who attended the scene, he said he's happy
I wasn't doing anything wrong, but that it was very unlikely they'd be
able to pin anything like a Due Care on the other driver. Plod still
says it was entirely the other bloke's fault, though, as does the
independent witness.

The people who recovered my bike are happy to put it in writing that
in their opinion, it is beyond economical repair (forks snapped, front
bashed in, it's a Bandit so it's fucked). I've had it moved to a
secure location where I won't be charged for storage; my uncle's
builders' merchant's yard.

I have bruises on my left elbow, right chest, right wrist (suspected
scaphoid fracture) and my arse is bruised. My right leg is one big
yellow bruise, with some small cuts and abrasions here and there. My
left testicle is purple; the right one is about twice the size it
should be, and hurts a lot (should anyone wish to know). I was
wearing denim jeans; I think that my leather jeans would not have
made much difference, as they aren't armoured. My crash helmet (Shark
S500) is scraped across the face-hole, and the visor is missing; there
are no obvious signs of serious impact. Needless to say, it's retired
from active service. Neither jacket (Akito) nor gloves (HG Pathan)
show much sign of anything other than wear. The boots ("Trezeta"
brand work/walking boots) I had on were slightly scuffed. Nothing had
to be cut off to be removed.

It's all in the hands of RSS and Carole Nash now. I think I got off
rather lightly; more news as it happens.

Thanks again to all well-wishers; you know who you are.

Hope you feel better soon & get the claim sorted with no probs. Shame about
the bike, too

 

Nooooooo...Nooo, Nooo, no. Carole Nash might give good all round
cover, but with my prang last year, I'm sure the solicitor[1] must
have rolled over and pissed himself like a Chihuahua at the mere
thought of going to court. Oh yeah, and there was approximately
*****-all* consultation with myself.

Net result. A total loss settlement, with damages, chalked up
*against* me, even though it wasn't my fault[2].

Hopefully I'll never need 'em, but next time <fx:Touches wood>, I'll
cetainly get RSS on the case.

[1] Working for the underwriters that went bust a few years ago.
[2] Honest[3].
[3] No, really it wasn't, honest.

 

If it hurts you're still alive which is a good thing

Any prang you can walk^H^H^H hobble away from is light damage I guess, glad
you're not too injured.

I hope it all turns out well for you.

 

Has he been "taken out" since the original post? It's a fuckin'
conspiracy I tell ya.

 

A classic case of BB aka 'Bikers Bollocks'

Buzby

 

If there was one then possibly wasnt the best witness. Just because
someone saw an incident doesnt mean they saw *everything* or are a
half decent witness

 

No kidding. I had a black, then purple, then blue badger stripe up me
sack for three months after my splat last year.

 

I have no interest in this information. Please cease.

<fx: looks around guiltily, decides to cover tracks>

Well I think you're a Northern ****.

 

I must have missed the original post.

Count me in.

You know, if you didn't want to ride down to the EOSM with us, you
only had to ask to be excused.

I usually appeal to fat munters who want to mother me, but there have
been noteable exceptions to that recently

So you've adopted the old "desperately introduce new criteria in order
to maintain accuracy of original untenable post" defence! Most people
would have waited a couple of posts before using this line as in this
case it's far too easily countered with a "were you there then?" or
"so you know this witness and *he's* a fuckwit/blindman".

Go read the original post, then re-read your post, then tell me you
didn't make a *teensy* booboo ... with a straight face ... and no
fingers crossed whilst you type.

 

Blimey - something we've got in common.

So glad I'm a female

 

You`re right - failed miserably to spot the "independant witness" in
the original post!! In which case I stand by my second post

 

You were asleep during the 1/2 hour Observation Classes?
(due, no doubt, to overdoing it during the 7 hours of
Sensless Brutality Classes earlier in the day. ;-))

 

Bitch.

Crasher's **** hurts just as much, you know.
