Somebody bumped into me the other night,literally.I was taking a booking to 50th birthday party(4 in my cab) with members of the extended family following behind in their own car(they did'nt know the way).At a give way they went into the back of me(bang!).On the face of it it did'nt look much but,lifting the door up
it had cracked the door quite badly around the catch area (polysomething?).My insurance assesors say possible bumper damage where we can't see it(to cover themselves).Consequently this little low speed bump is possibly going to cost over 3k just for the repairs.Their insurers have accepted liability thankfully very quickly.Pheww,always a relief that they are actually insured!

Put that with the costs of your back agony ( :roll: ) and the legal costs for your claim, the final bill will be around £10,000. :sad:

Does that include £200 per day for a hired plated vehicle whilst repairs underway? :evil:
