Hi all,
I really need some advice on an accident.
I took my car into a well known garage for a full service and MOT.
The work was carried out on good Friday. The car passed the MOT and they took it out for a test drive. I was heading to go and collect my car and I got a phone call that it was involved in an accident. The person driving it hit a cyclist. I was given the location so headed over there.
There was an ambulance and paramedics helping the cyclist who was now all strapped up on a stretcher. My car drivers side lights, mirror, windows and door were all smashed in. Huge dent in the door. (A lot of repair required) It was a bit chaotic so I provided the police with my details and left.
The car garage called me up and apologised and said they wouldn't charge me for the full service and world repair all the damage. Unfortunately due to the long bank holiday weekend a replacement car could not be provided. This has spoiled my who Easter break as I had no transport. Luckily the cyclist will make a full recovery but does have a few broken bones.
Where do I stand in all this?
