I was hit from behind at a roundabout yesterday. I was stationary. I spoke to the other driver, who does not want to go through insurance, but exchanged details anyway. I notified police and my insurer.
Within 20 mins I had mild pain in my back. After 6 hours it was a bit worse, and my shoulder/ neck started to get stiff and sore. Much worse today but manageable pain - paracetamol is fine.
Car is possibly a write off, but it's a really good car. It's only worth about 1500, and the damage is likely to be 2000. I will never get a car as good for that.
Because of the high cost, I can't imagine the other driver will be able to keep it off insurance.
If insurance write it off and give the value if the car, can I use that money towards repair?
Also, if it turns out I can't work on Monday (very physical job involving lots of lifting) can I claim lost wages without going through a personal injury claim?
Tia for any advice
