• I have an insurance question, that hopefully someone can help with.

    My brother was driven into a couple of weeks ago, a learner driver pulled onto a roundabout as my brother was going round, and has smashed into his rear door, so door is knackered as is the rear panel, and unsure if there is any damage to sub frame etc. Guy at the scene admitted fault, swapped details etc, all seemed fine.

    He rang his insurance company straight away, and they said they would ring the other partys insurer(LV) and get it all sorted, since then my brother has rang his insurer every day and has been told that they can't get through to LV, and they are only allowed to wait on the phone for 10 minutes on hold, they have told him that he can claim on his own insurance, but he would then have to pay his excess and try and claim it back.

    Anyone got any tips he can do to try and get LV to actually sort this out, is he allowed to call LV himself?

  • is he allowed to call LV himself?

    I don't see why not, I called the other party's insurer numerous times when someone drove into my parked car. If you have the other guy's name, address and reg then they should be able to get the details for you.

  • Interesting, may see if he wants to do this. He just spoke to LV again, apparently the guy is now not claiming responsibility, not sure how that will work on for him, my brother was on the roundabout, and his back passenger door is caved, hard to see how it is not his fault.
