I have been in an accident, sorry if I can't type properly or missing a word or two, since I cant type a lot with one hand,I'll skip the telltale part.

Summary: This girl turn right, traffic jam, can't wait anymore for traffic to stop, suddenly take the turn cuz she thinks that her SUV is a F1 car, because I'm just half a second a head than the other lane, so my bike take the full force, the quote, $2999 to fix,

Her, no insurance, nothing, no job, blah blah blah.

So it will come out of my pocket, since I cant push her insurance for it, therefore my bloody premium will increase.
Ask my lawyer friend, I can push charge but the cost for it will be more than the cost to fix my bike, unless the damage is $20k-$30k, otherwise it is not worth it.

After a whole week chasing goose, if your car is old and if your skill is high, avoid it as much as you can, don't make the damage too high, don't buy insurance because your car is old, cheaper to scrap it. Unless that person press charge, otherwise you will walk away fairly easy. As the girl in my situation has demonstrated.

      i do have, but the point is, my insurance will pay for it, since that girl does not have any, therefore my insurance cant push her to pay for the damage, which make my premium increase in the future, as for myself 2 fractures in my right arm, cant do anything for the next 2 weeks, and she walks away without any charge or or fine, well she got a police ticket though but the fine is nothing compare to what i have been through

          Because his insurance is paying out, not the other driver's (as they don't have insurance).

          @John Kimble:

          Doesn't matter, as long as you can nominate the at-fault person, you yourself pay no excess or have a premium increase.

          Your insurance company will then chase up the other driver personally for the money. If they need to they will get a court order to seize the other parties assets if they want too. If they deem it is worth it, of course. But that's up to them.

          OP go through your insurance. Also if you are in any way injured make a case to the other parties CTP insurance. You never know when injuries will crop up later down the line.

          That's the way it's supposed to be, but even if you're not at fault, your insurance company will still consider you an increased risk because of the accident, and try to increase your premiums.

          @Joney: This. When applying for insurance, a lot of them don't ask if you've been at fault, just how many accidents in general.

          Based on statistics, the risk for them to pay out to you, regardless of whether you were at fault, increases with the amount of accidents you've been involved in.

        • dji1111111 on 30/08/2017 - 17:21

          @AdosHouse:

          Depends on the policy. I used to have comprehensive insurance on my motorcycle with QBE and they only refund the excess if they recover the cost of repair from the party at fault.
          The guy who ran red light and almost took me out did a runner, QBE couldn't get him to pay up and I ended up being out of pocket in the end. This is despite having multiple independent witness statements provided to the police.

        • AdosHouse on 30/08/2017 - 17:34

          @djc926:

          Well than QBE lied to you and took you for a ride.

          This is straight out of the PDS:

          "All excesses
          You won't have to pay any excesses if your vehicle is damaged in a collision with another vehicle and
          all of the following apply:
          *We agree the other driver involved in the collision was totally at fault
          *You can give us the name and address of the other driver and the registration number of the other vehicle
          *The other driver isn't a family member."

          @AdosHouse:
          why do people have to act like they know everything? is that out of their motorcycle pds? i doubt it because there is no such paragraph in their motorcycle insurance pds. I even took the matter to ombudsman and they ruled in QBE's favour as they are operating as per their PDS.

          In the Scenario mentioned by @djc926 wouldn't have been able to get this information as "almost took me out did a runner"

        • dji1111111 on 30/08/2017 - 23:25

          @jpee:
          incorrect. there is no such clause for their motorcycle insurance product.
          I had the rego number of that car and a few witnesses cited the same rego number to the police but didn't make any difference. the pds doesn't explicitly mention when excess does not apply. it simply says excess is payable with every claim made. When I talked to them they said excess can only be waived when they recover their cost from the party at fault. they never did and i never got my excess refunded.
          the leason was to read the pds with fine toothcomb because every insurer can be slightly different and in this case QBE's car insurance is obviously different to motorcycle insurance.

          @AdosHouse:
          Depending on state, in VIC you must follow these rules when you are involved in an accident:

          https://www.legalaid.vic.gov.au/find-legal-answers/traffic-o…

          If the accident was your fault
          If you are not insured and the accident was your fault, the other driver’s insurance company will try to recover the money for the damages. If you don’t pay the debt the insurance company can take you to court.

          If the other driver does not have insurance the other driver may sue you for damages.

          A community legal centre may be able to help you. See Get help.

          Part of the insurance companies obligation is that they pay for your repairs and manage the debt recovery with the responsible party.

          In the end, defensive driving saves you and others a lot of potential costs and harm.

          Just let the offender enjoy their life. How great is that? OP must be glad to hear that; and the fact she was probably driving a car later that day, ready to plough into another person.

          Why let the offender enjoy their life with no consequence? A few points off their license and some excess? That is no consequence. Her conscience? They have none, they ran into another person and did nothing to wrong their right. How cool is our society? They should have thier license stripped and any sort of government payments garnished to pay the excess.

          Saying sorry gets so many people out of punishment ( except my kids )

          Run a kid over and kill it, say sorry, apologize to the public in TV, apologize in court, squeeze a few tears out in front of the judge and probably walk free with a 12 month good bond.

          The mother and father instead, will look at the empty room, fear the silence that has replaced the joyful laughter, walk past children's clothes at K-mart, and wonder what their little one would have looked, how she or he would have done at school. And have to explain to her his brother/sister why he/she will never come back from hospital.

        since that girl does not have any, therefore my insurance cant push her to pay for the damage,

        If you have comprehensive, your insurance will push her for payments, legally via debt collectors and Court. If you only have third party, you/your insurance can apply for this "3rd party no insurance cover" thing (I can't remember the exact name), according to the other thread on ozb.

        That is terrible insurance.

        With a reputable insurer, if you're comprehensive or even 3rd party, you are covered as long as you can get her details. The collection of money will be the responsibility of your insurance company. You don't have to worry about that. And since you are not at fault, you shouldn't even have to pay excess.

        Dude calm down. Your insurance will send her a very serious looking letter of demand, which will cost them little more tham the price of a stamp, they have the template saved on the computer and do this every day of the week.

        A lot of the time that is all it will take. This is literally their job, they are very good at getting money out of people.

        You paid your premiums so sit back and use the insurance.

        • macrocephalic on 30/08/2017 - 14:37

          Exactly this. I didn't have insurance on my bike and was in at at fault accident earlier in the year. I stopped and gave the other driver my details and told her to just give them my details. A couple of weeks later I got a letter asking me to confirm I was at fault - which I was. A few months after that I got a bill for the damage, maybe a little high, but not egregious. Really, it was all pretty easy and civil.

          FWIW I did get insurance after that, but, seeing as that was my first at fault accident in 17 years of driving, I'm still far ahead financially.

        You sound like a reasonable guy. But once you get injured, all that gotta go out the door. People are selfish bunch. Why be considerate to her at your expense? You gotta look after yourself first. Not her

      THIS.

      1. File a police report
      2. Get a letter from her if possible aceepting the crash was her fault + all her contact details +
      3. File insurance claim

      If it is not your fault, you will generally not have to pay the excess nor will your premiums go up. It the job of the insurance company to get the money from her (they may take her to court).

      Bottom line - its the insurace company's job to chase after money from her.

        • Bluberry on 29/08/2017 - 19:55

          Agree. Police has more important things to do but you should always file a police report if it is a major accident and/or the other person is uninsured so you have a documented account of the accident. Helps heaps if there are any disputes or if you have to go to court.

          BTW your premiums dont necessarily go up. I also had a crash involving a uninsured driver (their fault). This is what the insurance company told me to do. I didnt have to pay excess and my premium was unchanged the year after.

    • hunterhalo on 29/08/2017 - 17:36

      it makes me feel like if your car is old enough, dont bother to buy insurance, further more if you are an ozbargain poor it is even better, just say that im sorry mate, no money, no insurance no nothing, here 200 dollars take it or leave it, dont bother with insurance because i dont have money to pay anyway, they can send me all the letter they want, i know you buy insurance for event like this but isnt the offender should receive some kind of justice rather than a small fine from the police

      • rhino015 on 08/09/2017 - 14:24

        I think even from the perspective of the poor at fault driver with a crappy cheap car, 3rd party insurance is worthwhile still. Because if the insurance company does chase you for the money, you aren't going to have to be declared bankrupt.

      Not even an insurance loophole. The op insurance company will probably chase her for the costs. It's the way the system works. It's not ideal, but not having insurance is a lot worse than having it if someone uninsured causes damage to you, or your items

      • hunterhalo on 29/08/2017 - 17:43

        i know my insurance will but it sounds not fair to me, if the offender does not have job or poor what is their words anyway, cant verify that, she can ignore it until they push for court then will, they probably drag me to the hearing and long long law suit, then what you know, sometimes money just cant solve anything, jail her probably do me no good, for these cases honestly in my personal opinion, big communities services or such, or this is a joke hehe send them to Uranium mine or so since we have a lot of mines around the country, contribute back to the economy

          Pretty unlikely they'll drag you into a court case. If she was fined by the police she is guilty. The insurance co can chase her based on that, although I'm not sure they so chase real hard for $3k. All they need to do is send a letter of demand, then organise the sheriff to rock up and grab some stuff when she doesnt pay up.

          Be thankful you have your own insurance that will cover your losses.

          @Euphemistic:
          thanks for the advice, thats what im doing now, i was going easy on her since i dont want my premium to increase but the attitude she gave me, worth the money,

    Your insurance company will pay to fix your bike or car or whatever it was.

    Then the insurance company will chase her to pay up. Even if she pays a dollar a week for the rest of her life, the insurance company will get their money.

    You don't need to do anything else, sit back and let the insurance company do the work, it's what you pay them for.

      thank you, im doing that now, enough with Mr nice guy already, as soon as she told me she doesnt have insurance or money or such, i want to give her a chance for redemption, having people knocking on your door to collect dept isnt fun at all but well she bargain with me about the price, i even give her the chance of using her mechanic already but still she stills complain, im not wasting my time anymore

        She's lucky it's only $3k and not $30k. she needs to learn a life lesson.

        • hunterhalo on 29/08/2017 - 18:36

          i know but 3k and there so many way i could think of that she can avoid or reduce or drag the payment as long as she can, im not pissed about the money, im angry about the way the justice system punish such cases, if i push for law suit, not worth it at all, and if i decide so, what is the worst punishment she will get? license suspend and community services at best. For reckless driver like this there should be a way to actually remind them, because right now, a fines from the police is nothing and only a few point on her licence which means she can still drive,

          @hunterhalo:

          avoid or reduce or drag the payment as long as she can,

          If you go through comprehensive insurance, whether she drags it out or not will not affect your repair. Your insurance will pay for it, then chase the other party for the cost. It sounds like you still think insurance will only fix your car once they get money from the other party, despite being told otherwise.

          Stop making assumptions. Ask your insurance if it will affect your premiums, only you will know.

      • [Deactivated] on 30/08/2017 - 08:38

        She had enough money to buy a car, fill it with petrol etc.
        Owning a car is a big responsibility. She will appreciate that now.

        • Speckled Jim on 30/08/2017 - 17:02

          Who said it's her car? Her petrol? Her rego?

          @mrwillc: No kidding?
          Like, if someone nicks your car for a joyride? Your car may be insured, but only for named drivers and automotive professionals.

          The car she was driving may have insurance, but not for her.

          There's much we don't know. The minutiae should be for the Police to investigate. Anything else is assumption and speculation.

    Umm no your premium won't increase. Read your PDS but for a not at fault claim as long as they have her details they'll chase her up.

    Never ever give someone the chance to use "their" repairer. You may as well tell them to do it themselves because you know it'll be a friend of a friend/cousin/distant family member.

    • hunterhalo on 29/08/2017 - 19:06

      i have done it, hopefully it will not because i read the other topic on whirlpool and a new one right on ozbargain, for some reason those OP got their premium increase, as i mention in some previous post i dont want to make a big deal out of it, being nice, but well she is wasting my time so i just call my insurance, and let them deal with it

      • Randxyz123 on 29/08/2017 - 19:08

        Sorry I should've said shouldn't increase… It depends on your policy. Read your PDS.

      • Euphemistic on 29/08/2017 - 19:32

        Your premium will increase every year anyway. It would be very hard to prove that one not at fault crash caused the premium to rise more than the annual increase. Your no claim bonus will not be affected, you will not have an at fault on your record - these are the factors that WILL increase the premium more than the normal increase.

        • hunterhalo on 29/08/2017 - 19:50

          thanks for the help so much guy, appreciate for all the information.

    Her, no insurance, nothing, no job, blah blah blah.

    Not your issue

    So it will come out of my pocket, since I cant push her insurance for it, therefore my bloody premium will increase.

    Umm no, its still a not at fault claim for you, as long as you have THEIR details to give to your insurance company. If they have or don't have insurance isn't your issue.

    It kinda sounds like you think having a crap car, no insurance and no assets is some sort of scam to get out of being held responsible. Seems more likely she just has nothing so you/the insurance company can't get anything.

  • KaTst3R on 29/08/2017 - 21:37

    As long you are not at fault, your premium wont increase. It is up to the insurance company to chase for money from either her insurance or from her.

    thanks for the new replies, i have to wake up so early as pain killer doesnt help the pain much, if you guy read some of my previous replies you will see im not pissed about the money, im pissed because how easy for them to waged it off. If you read the conversation between me and eggmaster it will clarify my thought, i feel like it is so easy for these dangerous people to avoid punishment, some fined and being chased buy the dept collector when they have nothing does not justify enough, like i said in some previous posts well sometimes money is not enough and they will more harm on the road anyway

      If she's Chinese, she more than likely has rich parents (she doesn't work because she doesn't need to). And they don't get rich by throwing dollars away easily. I reckon she is pulling the wool over your eyes. As others have suggested, let your insurance company look after it, and just sit back and stop thinking about it. Your worries will magically evapourate and you will feel so much better - and you'll recover from your injuries faster. I, like all Ozbargainers, wish you well and a speedy recovery so you can put all this behind you.

      • hunterhalo on 30/08/2017 - 13:14

    Your premium will not increase because you are not at fault. If you have comprehensive insurance, your insurance company will cover the expense and chase payment from the party at fault, which is, 'the girl'. That's how the system should work.

        Hopefully the loss of money will make her think more next time she's driving.
        I don't want to be killed by a driver like that.
