The phone call you never want to get...

Nah, she can come back and cook and clean for me any time

You forgot iron

 

[hmallett]

You forgot iron

Only once! She'd never been allowed to iron before! Shame gaz_wrexham's mum didn't take the same attitude with him, would cost the NHS less!

Glad you're back to work, good luck with it all, chuck

 

[Luciel]

Dude... you know you where lucky really, last time i received this kind of call, it ended up in a funeral

 

[Julio_Scorchio]

Take it gently, and enjoy the attention.

Slowly but surely back to normal Sammi, hows the Bravo?

Interesting findings from Mr Investigator, the plot thickens.

[Steven]

Hang the garage....

 

[SLOVAC]

Hey Sammiboo :wave:
Good news that you're back at work... suppose normality will start setting in again in a couple of days and you will wish for a holiday
How's the elbow? Feeling coming back yet?

 

[sammiboo]

steve - its more disheartening that if it is a garage they are a well known italian car specialist and specialise in coupes too

Liam - the car is doing great, lat week got 37.5mpg so i was quite happy

Solvac - my arm is still sore in places and havent got the feeling back, but i do insist on smacking my arm into things, so that doesnt help

 

[sammiboo]

Just to update you all again....

The company that has been inspecting my car has come up with a final verdict....

The garage that fitted the bearing is to blame for the accident, it was incorrectly fitted

The report is going to the solictors and I am starting proceedings against the garage

Hopefully it will be straight forward but I really doubt it will be.

 

[Steven]

Sammi, they have no way out. If the inspection has shown them to be at fault I would be hoping for a quick out of court settlement.

 

[sammiboo]

i am not after a big payout for all this.

Just what i am owed, car, loss of earnings, i think my solicitors are keen for me to claim for personal injury too, but that means it will be dragged out!

 

[wolfracepunto]

Lets hope its painless and quick then

 

[Koa]

i am not after a big payout for all this

But you are entitled to it Sammi. Don't forget you are permanently damaged now and will never be able to enjoy driving again
Do em for all you can and you may be able to buy a ferrari

 

[custard]

agree with the bubble boy sammi,you never know the long term implications of an injury.eg i tore the ligiments in my ankle bout 7 years ago and i still gives me grief.on long journeys in the cinq it kills me as its my right on and it keeps the pedal planted

take the soliciters advice and go for broke,heres hoping your cooped up soon after being couped up

 

[Steven]

I agree. They owe you big time.

 

[dave]

a quick out of court settlement would be his best bet, if his insurers agree, it will restor some of his rep on the forum, he is well known and goes to the auto italia meets, if hes an arse about it then we shall be to.

without predudice

 

[Hellcat]

Who have you got doing the investigation? Sounds like a useful contact to have.

 

[pinin__prestatyn]

Here's hoping you recuperate all losses and compensation for the injuries to yourself. It's a good thing that they have found fault with the garage, rather that than being unable to decide who's quite at fault.

a mates vw passat went into kwikfit for brake pipes, and they forgot to refit one of the pipes, he lost the brakes whilst doing 30mph, the car smashed through a school gates and my mate sued, he got £12000 (no win, no fee). so you should be able to get between £10000 - £15000 compensation with a good lawyer.
