Insurers will try it on, then back down when thet realise you know your rights

This is spot on advice. It's in the DNA of insurance companies to offer an absurdly low amount, and to give the impression they will not budge from it. But you have to be just as cussid and hold out for what you know is right and fair. Good luck.

I don't move lanes without checking mirrors etc so you guess wrong.
Oh, and most parents don't know their kids as well as they think they do.

We don't know you.
There is a very good chance you do, that's why you expect the same in others.

@pendulum and turner, will you guys quit the tittle tattle school ground bickering, its boring.

the OP had some good advice on her QUESTION please re read her first POST as question was asked for advice NOT what do you think about this crash and how it happened etc.

rambling on and bickering like a pair of spoilt siblings isnt constructive or informative, people clash in a forum allways will be a factor of an open forum, and things go off topic easily.

personally i dont care how the crash started ive advised on how the insurance should deal with things and get the proof the OP needs to assertain what exactly happened, she's a lucky girl to have not been seriously hurt.

why people have made it a quest to put forward their OPINION based on not witnessing the accident is raising my eyebrows its fascinating how a small group of people can bicker all the time about what happened and base their facts on descriptive information given to the OP who has relayed it to us, unitll we see what happens no one will know what happened not even the OP so lets give this CARP a rest about how the accident happened in the first place!

atrixblue.-MFR-., can you please stop this off topic squabbling with other posters as it's boring, childish, and detracts from the OP's question?

Thanks.

The car has been declared a write off and the insurance company have offered my daughter more than the list price for the car which she has accepted.

To the person who suggested she was texting before the crash, my daughter's phone was checked by the police officer at the scene to ensure she had not been using it. Its routine after an accident so it shows how much you know. She does not own an ipod.

That's not bad, she must have a good insurer.
Who are they?

I agree in part with this. Ive had a few accidents and incidents, and each one I can recount fully to the finest detail.

I don't agree. 4 years ago we had our car written off on the slip road of a motorway and aspects of the accident are blurry.

I wouldn't worry about the arguments and people saying it was DD's fault. After our accident we were criticsed on this forum for not driving defensively enough. We were stationary on the slip road and hit from behind by a car travelling at 50 mph that shunted us into the car in front, who didn't even stop once queue moved, they pulled over briefly and then drove off!

What aspects?

The ones where you were in the wrong? That's a common one.

Updated previous post and was that necessary? We were 100% not in teh wrong. Talk about jumping to conclusions, I can tell that you are a person that balances all sides before coming to a conclusion..NOT!
