Just out of interest, would you be making an injury claim if it was you who had been driving and the accident was your own fault?.....

Who would you claim off for a self inflicted injury?

Yes, I saw that.

But he hasnt come back and said whether he went to hospital or doctors so he actually has some proof of his injuries.
If not, then it's game over.

Not so. Attendance at the GP or hospital aren't essential to make an injury claim.

Am I right in thinking that if the OP was driving and caused the accident they wouldnt be able to claim for any injuries to themselves anyway. ?

Only passengers/ohters injured would be able to claim anything.

So how could they prove an injury, the wont just take his or the drives word for it. Neither the ins. co. or the claim service.

Don't you mean "so many people who have to pay increased premiums because of fake claimers on this thread"

They will take the word of the medical expert who prepared the report.

I have dealt with minor personal injury claims based on the claimant's statement.

Your distain for those who claim their rights when injured seems to be all consuming.

Where do you see any suggestion the OP was actually driving at the time?

This incident happened last October, and the OP has now come to ask advice following discovering from an ambulance chaser he could get some compensation.

To suggest he was really driving does seem OTT!

It was a general question and not aimed at the OP, it required an answer. I didnt see any suggestion that the oP was driving,
I never made any such suggestion. You seem to have missed the word 'IF'
where on earth did you get that from. Im actually surprised at you Quentin to be honest.
