    Good result....

    Some insurers will load your premium even for non fault accidents, find out if yours does and if they do then don't forget to add that to the bill.

    Oh, not again...

    Good luck if you get it, but it will be purely that - luck. Let me know so I can launch some claims against incompetent lawyers for spurious incidents.

    You say luck......

    I say valid application of the Law of Torts which says that if you suffer loss as the result of a negligent third party you are entitled to be returned to the position you would have been in had the accident not happened.

    Non fault premium loadings are just a valid a consequential cost as car hire, loss of earnings, PI etc

    very succinct.......

    To expand slightly, are you saying that non fault loadings don't exist or that they aren't caused directly by the accident?
