My poor broom ...

**lor012** · 19-04-2011 11:01 PM

I actually did get really bad whiplash... i had to spend the night in the hospital.. im reaaaally really sore in my neck/abs/lower back
no its not a j's exhaust.. its actually Chris_F's old one...
no airbags went off... i kinda thought maybe the side ones would have gone off..
i have the car insured for about 17000 i think.. tbh i really cant remember.. (im pretty sure they know of the rims... not exhaust tho)
im really on the fence about whether or not i want it written of/whether i think it will be or not... ive only had it a year so i havent really paid that much off the loan..
its being assessed at the moment... fingers crossed i found out soon.. i dont know whats going to be good or bad news lol

Glad you're OK now. Depends if the damage is structural as to whether it'll be written off, if it's all bent I'd guess it might be.

What caused you to need to overnight in hospital? I had a head on t-bone at 50km/h which turned my car around 180 degrees (when some wanker pulled out from a give way sign across me) and even though I went to get checked out they just gave me panadene forte lol. Was v sore for a week or two but I think mine was mitigated because I saw them coming and braced!?

Make sure you file a claim for your injury expenses with the other person's CTP insurance as well as for your car. (You'll need ur doc to fill out a form later on so go to your GP as well as the hospital it's easier.)

i had about same damage on my dc2r. i was quoted 6k dmg. no write off =/

**lor012** · 19-04-2011 11:22 PM

they were really worried because after the accident i had severe lower back pains and they said they werent taking any chances.. i had to go to the hospital for an xray, and then a CT scan.. took all night to get the results... they wouldnt let me move until i had the all clear. I've got a letter from the hospital to give to my gp.. i didnt think i needed to do anything about CTP n claiming for injuries tho..

What insurance company are you with?

Suncorp is more likely to write off the car than any others.

Is that mean suncorp write off the car and payout for most small damages.. I thought NRMA is the best one..

I'm not sure.

When my Camry got into an accident, the panel beater told me that Suncorp is the company that is most likely to write off cars quicky.

Yeah you need to claim your medical expenses off their compulsory third party injury insurance. Don't stress about it you've got months to do it I think.

**tony1234** · 20-04-2011 12:19 PM

I reckon it'll be written off.Let us know the outcome.

Yah as far as I know suncorp's the fastest in writing the car off and then the pay out.

Wow mate, thats a fair 'thwack' your car's taken!!
If he's hit you going ~70kmph, the damage is testament to the build quality of these cars,
also I reckon it'll have chassis damage of some sort, so my money's on it being a write off.....

Sorry for you mate, glad you're ok.:-)
