At lights someone went into the back of her,the front head rests have popped out and struggling to get them back in ? apart from sore neck,got off lightly due to the tow bar taking most of the hit..bent it right into car though. Luckily never had to claim before,does the insurance sort out the solicitor for whiplash ? c200 komp, cheers.

Your insurer should sort everything out financially .

Your good lady should go to the doc and get checked in case there is anything more than soft tissue damage ; if there is ongoing soreness beyond a day or two ( whiplash ) then you will need the doctors report anyway .

Before it is too late : witnesses , photos , cctv .

BTW , if the other party has admitted liability , speak directly to their insurer - sometimes they will settle directly with you , provide replacement car , deal with the claim themselves as it cuts out middle men and costs them ( and all of us ) less in the long run . You still have to inform your own insurer about the incident but this way you avoid paying out an excess and , by not claiming against your own insurance , save any hit on your NCD , although your renewal premium may still go up as this is unconnected to NCD .

Flippin heck your not wrong...They actually try to spin it as though there working for my insurance company, very green in this department...what do i do ? My company is already dealing with there company and they have admitted liability, do i have to go seek out a solicitor independently?
