Is it right that you claim off the car behind but the one in front claims off you?

I had this situation in feb this year. Sitting at lights behind two cars, some twat speeding doesnt brake in time, hits in the back of me pushing me into the car infront. My insurance wouldnt pay the people in front as I had the handbrake on and the guy behind caused the accident, they referred the people in front to the person who caused the accident.

Can you buy it back and rebuild it yourself at work? Not sure if you get the option on the salvage?

If I had the same I'd be using my car as a donor for a mad project - onwards and upwards as they say!

Nope, everyone claims off the car behind Gaz mate, he's what they call the 'Proximate Cause' of the accident IIRC

Gutted for you Gaz, real shame mate! But as Amarz said least your safe and sound

Shit news mate, happened to me in my old saff. Took it to work to show it off and some bint in a Jeep rammed in the back of me at the lights whist playing with the kiddies in the rear.

I was gutted but it wasn’t a total loss even though the repairs were over 2k.

Feel for you

If you work in body repair garage, surely you can buy it back, fix it and be quids in after your pay out ???

Why break it, or is the shell fooked rather than beyond ecenomic repair
