Hi, I was in a car accident last year, April 2010. Other driver admitted liability, got car repaired etc. I suffered whiplash and am still seeing physio. I was in a lot of pain to beging with but I would say I am now 90% recovered.
Lodged claim with pib. The insurance company have approached me with an offer in full settlement to avoid the case being assessed by pib. It seems like an ok offer but everyone is saying to let the pib deal with it as they are impartial whereas insurance company are looking out for their own interest not mine. That the assesors have looked at my medical report, made an educated guess as to what the pib might offer me and have offered me significantly less. What do you think? I don't have a solicitor so any advice you can give would be great.
