advice on crash responsibility

[AndyL]

it comes down to who can afford the better legal team unfortunately

as much as it pains me I do feel your right

I think you will be right, or if not which legal team would back down first. I don't think my side would take it to court though.


with the 125 I'm planning to keep for bad knee days/heavy traffic it doesn't seem to matter. It added £100 for the fazer and silly amounts for car policies that are bothered by bike claims.


when I contacted the police to see if I needed to report it the lady mentioned there'd been cases where people had thought they'd been let out then have someone crash into them as a scam which has put recent emphasis on it being the responsibility of the car emerging to ensure it's safe.


If it did go to court I think it would be easy to get an anti biker person who sees it as a bike overtaking at a junction or someone who believes I would have come off had I been moving and the damage is inconsistent with their story. Clearly someone at the insurance company reviewed the detailed and changed from saying 50/50 to 100% in my favor (and said the trend is getting better for bikers in such cases )
