I was in N'gate parking lot when a company truck lost control and hit me. I was walking on the pavement. He hit me on my left shoulder into a parked car. Out of shock I left to drive myself to hospital, but could not drive as I could not move my arm. At the hospital was put on monitors and they did many test as they where afraid my heart would stop and lungs collapse. I hurt my shoulder badly and was put in a sling and booked off for a week.
I reported it the next day to the police station and notified the company. They responded by saying I should send medical and cost (loss of income and night nanny as I has a 3 month old baby) to them. I waited around 3 weeks to see how many bills(medical) got send and forwarded the details. It has been almost 3 weeks after sending the details and no respond
I have just opened my own hair salon and I am the only Hairdresser so there was no income (salon 2 months old)
All I asked for was for money I lost financially to put me back to where I was before the accident , nothing else!.
How do I go about getting my money back .....I can't afford anything
Want a job ? ....how much % hahahahah

Ok, do not claim for loss through your insurance company, they apoint their own solicitor and take absolutely ages to settle and when they do they take a nice fat chunk.
What you need to do today is contact a No Win No Fee solicitor, make sure they say what they do and no deductions will be taken.
Once you are happy and sign the Conditional Fee Agreement, (that is your no win no fee document) a letter of claim will be sent to the guy who hit you and things will be moving fast.
You can claim back your loss of earnings, damages etc... and it will not take long especially as it was clearly the other side, (Third Party's) fault.
What do you think? Answer below!
