Should I accept less than 100% settlement for kenna banged from behind?

[Panalogic]

when i smash into a taxi who was coming out of a small road (i was on the big road going straight)

 

i got 90%

 

same claim process as you...got to workshop, workshop engage lawyer, i sign appointment of lawyer letter and lawyer will do everything......

 

at first, taxi's insruance wanted to offer 75%, my workshop advised me to reject. So i took their advice. then i got 90%

 

i think your workshop can advise you accordingly....

 

generally from what i know, if the other party insruance offer more than 80%, usually, you need not pay any $ to the workshop or see your ncd go down.....but this is quite dependent on workshop to workshop.....

 

so you got to check with your workshop, what is thier threshold....

 

Are u saying tht even though it's not ur fault, u're paying the 10% from ur own pocket?

[Mustank]

nope i am paying nothing even though the other party pay 90%

 

how come leh?

 

the workshop and the lawyer usually buffer in some contingencies in such a way whereby if the other party pay 75%, you usually need not pay anything to your own workshop already

 

so it really depends how much buffer your workshop and lawyer places

Well thats the "blackness" of the motor industry... almost every workshop does this => leads to more losses => leads to higher premiums!
