how long does it take?
« on: 07 March 2016, 03:32:13 pm »
Has anyone here made a claim on their own insurance for accident damage? how long did it take and who were you insured with?
I feel that nothing is being done on my claim unless I phone and ask what is happening, the last three calls are "waiting for engineers report"
Now I'm no engineer but just from the photo that the recovery firm emailed me and a check on suttons spares the parts alone come to over £3000. I'm hoping the value of the bike is £2225, this will leave 2k after excess.
I'm not in any hurry to replace the bike as it could be another 10 weeks before my shoulder blade mends the broken finger should be ok in another 2 to 4 weeks.
This is week 5 since the accident, what is your best or worst for pay out for your bike (not injuries and not claiming off third parties).
thanks.

If they are paying for hire vehicles etc, they get their shite together. When my car got bent just after Christmas, the engineer was there the next day after being called by the insurance plebs.
Now that the car has been "fixed" I have been waiting two weeks for one to turn up so I Can show them the error of their ways.
