Car Insurance companies review, do your homework

Car insurance company useless

Car insurance companies

The driver got out and said that he was sorry for hitting my car and that he wasn’t looking where he was going, he apologised again and gave me his insurance details.



Last month I was travelling to work on the A1124 Halstead road at Earls Colne in Essex and on the way I stopped at a newsagents to purchase a newspaper. I exited the shop I witnessed a blue van reverse into my car.

They will initially tell you that they have no obligation to attend unless there is an injury. Tell them either that you suspect that there may have been an offence commi...moreGot a fair result
