Bought my first car today, insured and taxed before I set off home. On the way home someone drove into the side of me. I had stopped at a crossing which was on red and was indicating to turn right. Turned right once light were green and they drove into the side of me, there was a queue behind me, a witness has said they were driving on the wrong side of the road. My car haso a huge dent in the driver and passenger doors, theirs has a small scrape on the paintwork. 😔
Here is the more tricky part. Contacted my insurance and they said my cover doesn't start until midnight tonight and can't do anything unless the other person admits liability and contacts their insurance. I've no experience of dealing with any insurance claim whatsoever. Where do I stand? Would love some advice from anyone in the know.
