Ok, I searched for this but I cannot find anything whatsoever - we have a lot of stuff about insuring our bikes against theft, but not claiming on someone else's insurance after an accident. Apologies if I missed something glaringly obvious.
If someone can please help me with this, I would be much obliged. Basically, I got knocked off my bike last week by a motorcyclist. The police were involved (I have what i think is an incident number consisting of 3 letters, 4 digits) and I have the driver's details (name, address, reg, telephone number) and that of a witness, which the driver gave me.
How do I go about claiming on his insurance for the destruction of my bike, exactly? Does anyone have any experience of this?
Do I contact him directly and ask for his insurers' details, and then write the insurers a letter explaining the situation? Or does this all have to be done via solicitor?
Thanks people.
