In this thread, I outlined details of a car accident my fiance was involved in:
http://www.askaboutmoney.com/showthread.php?t=38582
Basically, in summary:
1. He was rear-ended at a roundabout.
2. They exchanged details, but on the suggestion that they'd sort it out between them rather than involve the insurance, the other party denied all liability.
3. Fiance went straight to the other party's insurance company, got assessor and quote.
4. That Insurance company sent (not sure of proper name here) form for other party to sign to accept liability and gave a 30-day deadline.
5. 30-day deadline has now passed. Last we heard was that a registered letter has been sent to the other party demanding a response.
What's next for us? What if this guy refuses to make contact with his insurance company? Will his insurance pay out without the guy accepting liability? Does this mean that we might have to go through our own insurance?
Sorry for all these questions, but this is a new process for us. We are still driving around with the rear of our car bashed in because we don't want to risk getting €3k worth of work done and not being reimbursed.
