Car accident

[sihiggs79]

Hi there. Wonder if anyone can help. A couple of days ago I was involved in a car accident. I was waiting to pull out of my work car park onto a minor road. The road i was pulling onto is a dead end with a turning circle at one end, about 20 metres from my junction. I was waiting to pull out and saw a car on the other road, on the right either crawling incredibly slowly or parked on double yellow lines. I knew I had plenty of time so pulled out. The next thing I knew he had driven into the drivers side front corner of my car. I was completely on the road when the collision occured. He cannot have been looking and must have accelerated quickly. His passenger said the driver had just picked her up so it is more likely he was parked on the double yellow lines. He is blaming me and I am blaming him. I have terrible neck, shoulder and back pain and have been to doctors today who say it is whiplash. I am considering making a claim for the injury but do not know who they will see as being at fault. Can anyone help please? Many thanks

It is up to your respective insurance companies to sort this out - that's what you pay them for.

it is impossible for any one to advise you here apart from the very exellent advice given by Mrs O. Necessarily, you have only given your sde of the story, whereas the insurance co. will have the benefits of both sides. It's a bit early to be thinking about making a claim - by your own admission it's only ben a couple of days. You coul wake tomorrow and be completely better, or you could have ongoing problems for years

if you think you were in the right i would make a claim.
