Ok,
I've been dragged into this cr*p where insurance companies do deals and both parties get screwed.
My insurance company have just quoted a section from the policy saying they have full control over the claim which means what ever they decide goes.
My question is...
what can I do about it? It's not just the money loss - excess + increase in premium due to loss of NCD, but there is a princibple at stake too where I feel I was not at fault!!
damn it I was not even going to claim expenses either!!
:cool:

basically the insurance companies do this because its easier and cheaper for them rather than fight in court over who is to blame. i have just had a little bump which i feel was not my fault but cannot be proved. it could cost my company a fortune to fight it so they go knock for knock and call it a day.0
