Originally posted by Old Hack View PostCycling around the lanes by my new pad Saturday and I came around a corner, only to see a car was cutting it. Saw it a bit too late, and, well, to cut a long story short, I have a broken leg and fractured elbow. Couple of ops over the weekend and I reckon 3 - 4 months unable to operate. New gig started today too, and after 6 weeks off in France and a house move, so the coffers are low, and I get this. Hey ho, life is like this sometimes. Might give me an opportunity to sit back and think about the future for a while.
Still, get back to health and your own comfortable level of insanity soon!

Serious question...
I may be completely misguided, but OTOH if a muppet drove their car into an Eddy Stobart lorry destroying £1 million of cargo I'm pretty sure Eddy's insurers would look to recover that loss from the other party's insurance, and I see no reason why the liability would be different if they weren't insured.

Sorry to hear that OH. Bloody nasty.
And it's a timely reminder for me (and others) to take it easy on the old motorbike (and bicycle) for those very reasons.
Hope you recover as soon as possible.

Originally posted by doodab View PostIf you have a signed contract, and enough accounts to prove your earnings history, then you should claim for loss of earnings. 3-4 months is a lot of money to let slide, especially if the warchest is depleted.
On the bright side, at least you aren't dead...

His 3rd party insurance should cover loss of earnings if it's his fault! That's genuine case to use lawyers also.
