Hi guys,
First-time poster. I just want some advice on what to do.
I was in a car accident where I was stopped at a giveaway and a p plater has rear ended me. They have admitted faulted verbally at the site and we have exchanged details etc. I have two options now:
- They have suggested they will pay for repairs in full if I get a few quotes from repairers
- Or I go through insurance and make a claim etc.
Did I want to know the communities thoughts on pros and cons of each options? Will my premium go up if I claim and not at fault? Risk going private not reporting the incident to the insurer?
Thanks guys.
Get it done properly through your insurance. Don't let them pay for cheap repairs.
Put the claim in. You have their details, you won't pay excess and your premium won't go up for a not at fault accident
