Apologies if I didnt make it clear. I did attend hospital and was checked over, patched up and given a shed load of advice on what potential problems to look out for. Thankfully A&E was quiet and it does help I had my staff ID badge in my jacket pocket :-)yes you did by not going to the hospital as advised by the ambulance crew, you or they have no way of knowing if there are any internal injuries that can't be ascertained by being checked over. A medical report immediately after the accident, goes a long way in helping you with your claim. Always and I mean always go to a hospital if advised to do so.
I hope you make a speedy recovery
Oh, No, how awful. A similar thing happened to me a few years ago. My husband took photographs of my injuries when we got home from hospital, and again a few days after, then again several weeks later. It was very helpful, both in pursuing a claim for compensation (which I was obliged to do by my employer), and in coming to terms with the event. Look after yourself, and make sure you go to the doctor sooner rather than later if you're worried.
thanks, I do intend to.
I hope they gave you a shed load of painkillers too - paracetamol and ibuprofen. The times I've been in they've suggested taking them up to the maximum dose before the serious pain kicks in.
They gave me Paracetamol, Ibuprofen and Codeine. Think I'll be using the latter to try get some sleep tonight.
I will be passing all the information on to the BC lawyers then taking their advice on how to proceed. Her comment about the scratched car got me thinking she might have some hugely misplaced belief she can somehow turn it around and wriggle out of it.
