Hi all
I suffered a bad head injury last January after slipping on surface water in a subway. I ended up in hospital getting my head glued back together. I was 12 weeks pregnant at the time so couldn't have any painkillers stronger than paracetamol.
I informed the council so they could write it in their accident book and they sent me a letter accepting full liability for the accident and asked me to fill in the claim form they'd enclosed. At first I thought it was a joke as it was asking for my NI number- I rung the number and they said it was genuine.
I filled the form in last Feb and sent it back.
They have sent me four letters so far- all saying they are looking for a Neurologist to see me- as I suffer from anxiety, panic attacks and severe migraines. I see a counselor every Monday.
A week before Xmas they sent me a letter offering me £1000- they said it was instead of seeing a Neurologist and to stop the delay with my claim. I rang them and said I still wanted to see a specialist.
Since then I have rung them to ask what is going on- we have an NHS hospital near us and a private one too- they say no-one will see me.
I have contacted my Dr and asked him to send me to a specialist at the local hospital.
Do you think the insurance company will accept the report from my specialist?
Do you think they are delaying things on purpose?
