Long story short - was in a road accident nearly 3 years ago to the day - i was stationary at traffic lights after coming off a motorway, someone came off the motorway and drove straight into the back of me.

Insurance company 'approved' solicitors been on the case with compensation and today i got an offer of just over a grand.

Now, i'm not saying i'm in pain each and every day - but - i do still get neck and back pain. When i went out in Porkies westy for example - my neck was painful before we even got back into the pits after a few laps - 3 years ago, fast cars didn't cause that to happen with me.

My 'injury assesment' was IMO a bit of a joke, was in there no more than 5 minutes and had words put in my mouth before i could even give answers. My injury was estimated at 8 weeks and when i asked for it to be reconsidered we couldn't get the assessor to reply...

Solicitors fees to date are around £3500 and i understand that the other party are liable for them, but i've read through the offer i got this morning and its suggesting that if i pursue any more compensation then i'm responsible for certain costs etc. etc.

Anybody rejected first offers? Is there a middle ground of reconsideration before it ends up in court?

Just trying to get a feel for things before ringing the solicitorr
