    Sorry but the damage to the car being minor is subjective - it was minor enough to be repaired but not damaged enough to write the car off - happy with that?!

    It was enough to cause me to damage ligaments in my wrist and arm - causing me long term - even till now, pain. Hospital treatment involving surgery, some time off work and loads of expense and time used in getting myself physio

    So YES! there is blame - a driver too interested in his CD player to see the large red car he's about to collide with and YES there is a claim - why should i be out of pocket AND injured for someone else's poor driving?!

    I do hope this satisfies your idle curiosity and need to find fault with a genuine request for help and information!

    Many thanks other posters - will draft a letter of complaint and get it sent off!

    Usuall claims can take over 12 months to complete, there is usually the toing and froing of offers and rejection letters , the larger the claim, th longer the time to process, as once you accept the offer, you cannnot claim at a later date for the same injury, so they often wait for a full recovery.
