Neville,
are you in the AA/RAC? They often help out with such cases (or DAS, if
you have cover from them for uninsured losses).

| No AA/RAC. What's DAS ? (I probably don't have that either...)

| If your insurance co. won't help and you have no cover for legal assistance
I think your best bet is to go to the CAB and ask their advice. They
should be able to offer you a free consultation
with a solicitor.
I would say you have solid grounds for a claim if it was the other
person's fault.

2430.4 | try these | IOSG::TYLDESLEY | | Tue Jul 25 1995 16:56 | 10 |
| Neville.
On the local radio recently, and in the local papers, adverts have been
appearing, saying "Have you had an accident recently, that wasn't your
fault?. If so, we can follow up a claim for you". I think the adverts
also said that it was on a 'no success, no pay' basis. The solicitors
were Shoesmith & Harrison, who are pretty well known locally. I suppose
they are after the increasing US-type litigation work. You might want
to give them a call.
Cheers

| My wife was in an accident where a car ran into the back of hers
whilst stopped in a line at a pelican crossing. DAS are funding the
solicitor. The hire car costs were settled with a year, but the
personal injury claim is still going on 4 years later.

| Ah but my wife had kind of recovered in the 3 weeks it took to see the
specialist..... we could have pushed it further, you know, sex life
