Car Accident Report

3
My car was involved in an accident which was reported by me to Sabre Insurance LTD within minutes of it happening. I can but give full credit to Sabre for their immediate reaction to my call. Two hours after the call a car transporter arrived at my address, drove the car onto the transporter and whisked it away the a Repairers. Over the next few days I was swamped with letters from various departments and companies including the DVLA,(All with different Reference numbers) Of course all sorts of information was required. One activity I felt I should have been a part of was the inspection of my car at the repairers work shop. My car was 11 years old but it had been well looked after and had only done 34,000 miles. The accident only damaged the nearside front wing, bonnet, Headlights etc, plus a small quiarter window in front of the passenger door. There was no other damage to the interior or bodywork right round to the offside doors and panels and front. The car was still driveable, I drove it home the three hundred yards from the accident The car was inspected by a damage assessor who declared that the repairs would cost more than the value of the car so it should be scrapped. I felt that I had been ignored and that I should have been allowed to attend the inspection so that I might be able to discuss any possible options with the assessor engineer and the Repairers Apart from that item described above, I have to say that Sabre were very helpful and called me back with answers to my questions without delay. I also received my compensation cheque much sooner than expected. Gwyn. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2016
