Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I had a crash this morning and really need to know if its classed as a non fault as my excess is quite large!
driving down a small residential road when all of a sudden one of the cars parked on my left decides to pull out without looking and hits me, I ended up hitting his door with the corner of my front bumper, I think it was his fault for not looking before he pulled out, but how would the insurance companies see it, the damage on mine is just a slightly dented wing/bumper
From that scenario, liability rests probably with the TP. You were proceeding correctly (presumably) and the TP failed to check his surroundings to ensure it was safe to pull out. Basically, they pulled out and hit you.
How it will go however is a completely different matter. Hopefully their versio will agree with yours, but they could also claim that you were zooming down the road and hit their car as they were stationary.
First of all just wanted to thank everyone for the great advice given, just a quick update now. my car was written off in crash however the TP is now claiming there was never any contact between our cars? how will this end? Court?
This should be fought out by the respective insurance companies, I would assume that the TP had their car repaired so either they payed it themselves or they claimed, if they claimed then they must have mentioned in a claim how it happened
