As there is no judgement involved, costs would have to be part of the negotiated figure.
stingray:
It appears that the initial police report of 120kph, maybe the AAMI insurance is using this and ears are blocked to everything else that is said.
bootlegger:
I agree they are basing their decision on what they have and dont seem to be open to listen to what has transpired.
I have spoken to their solicitor and im getting the impression everything hinges on his advice to AAMI.
My solicitor last week gave him an ultimatum to make a decision either way so court proceedings could start.
I honestly think he doesnt know what to do.
The irony of all this is initially my green slip insurer admitted liability before I went to court.
They agreed to pay the other driver $250000 for a broken ankle.
After I won I sent them the forensic report, the court transcript and a statement from me on how the police behaved.
They rang me two weeks ago and told me they have held onto the money as they now believe he is to blame.
What i still dont understand is the other drivers insurance has paid all my medical bills.
For whatever reason this has become a total train wreck. It was all supposed to be textbook for everyone.
Frame the westy hoon. Get him to plead guilty with a misleading brief and watch the houso go down just like on today tonight.
I guess they didnt realise who they were fxxking with.
I have spent seventy grand so far. I can only imagine what everyone else has spent.
Oh and if you do a deal on the steps before you go into court you dont get your costs. As was mentioned you may be abke to negotiate it but it doesnt work out that way normally.
bootlegger:
Well AAMI finally formally denied liabilty. They claim I was speeding and driving in the dark.
Considering it was found in court that not to be the case I really cant understand their logic.
I went and saw my solicitor on Thursday.
Now we have to start all over again.
Im sueing them now.
Im pretty frustrated.
Jethro:
Sorry to hear that buddy :( Must be very draining on you and the family !
