A prayer for each of you, @EdH

[EdH]

Thanks @scooter, I think we’re all good. Still got a lump on the back of my head and neck feels a bit twingey, might get checked out if the latter persists. The baby seems utterly fine and is her normal self.

@Matt yup, thank goodness she was all strapped in.

[AdamJ]

@EdH glad you're all ok and the Skoda did it's job, 'tis barely a scratch!

[Giles]

Best of luck baby H

[EdH]

@AdamJ @Giles Thanks both. Definitely appreciate being in a larger car now. My last car would have come off worse for sure. Baby H is OK, not worried about her one bit now. All passed on to insurance to deal with now.

@Matt You raise an interesting point/emoji.

[goosehd]

Pain, suffering, mental anguish, loss of joy, fear of driving, inability to concentrate, chronic pain, unable to work…

[goosehd]

@EdH …and to continue my thoughts, are those types of cases as prevalent in the UK as in the US? Are there non stop ads on the radio and tv for injury lawyers like here?

[Matt]

I worked to fight insurance fraud every day for 16 years and my first thought whenever I’m involved in something is “Can I get insurance money out of this?”

[Matt]

You gotta play to win.

[goosehd]

@Matt Were you a claims adjuster/adjudicator? I bet you must have seen some wild and crazy stuff in 16 years.

@Matt Truer words have never been spoken,and I always maintain that you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

[J-IV]

@Matt any tips or advice?

[Matt]

Tons.

[Matt]

@J-IV of you have a specific situation pm me.

Started out as a marine claims adjuster, then onto auto damage, then injury liability, property, property manager, operations manager then finished up with property claims once I burned out and decided to retire early.

@Matt Hypothetically, if @Giles drives his boat into a garage full of priceless cars and injures numerous people doing so, you’ll be able to give him advice…

[J-IV]

@Matt I have you on speed dial, bruv. Hope that's okay

[Matt]

Always.
