Hi All
Was just after some advice, recently been involved in a accident with a lorry, it merged into the back corner of my car causing the car to spin out and hit another car.
I've never been involved in a accident before so just wanted some advice, I've reported it to the insurers and its now with them, there were no witnesses and the lorry driver is saying hes not sure what happened, I'm hoping theres CCTV which may help, bit worried this may drag out and he may deny responsibility.
I have fully comprehensive with legal cover but do not want to be out of pocket for a no fault accident.
My insurer has said I can get a quote myself for the cost of repair to the car or get them to take to approved repairer and sort out (which will be non mercedes it sounds like), I've seen Your Mercedes-Benz is in safe hands with us which looks quite useful, has anyone used this service before?
I'm not sure whether to find the best Mercedes approved repairer myself or use the above service, also should I only use the above service once I know other party has accepted liability?, any advice of any of the above or next steps would be appreciated
