Car crash in a company car?

I was driving along and a women opened her car door not knowing i was coming along. And she smashed all the front side of my car and down both sides of the door. Can i claim compensation even though i'm not hurt?

How can you claim compensation for something that hasn't happened...??


LillyB
What would you be being compensated for? No, you can't slaim compensation just for the fun of it.

No for two reasons. Firstly if you're not hurt what are you going to be compensated for? You are entitled to claim for uninsured losses incurred by you but the two insurance companies involved will sort out repairs to the cars and any excesses will be dealt with by your company if it is a company car. Providing you with a replacement car will also be dealt with by the company so it will be them that have uninsured losses.
However if you have hit a stationary vehicle even if they did open the door on you it is likely that the accident is your fault which is another reason you cannot seek compensation.
Some businesses recover uninsured losses from their employees if it was their fault so this might end up costing you not making you money.

Do you know what the word "compensation" means?

It's something of value which you get, in exchange for something of value you gave up, or was damaged or lost.

Did you give up something of value to this woman? Did she damage or lose something of yours?

If not, then anything you get from her would be swindled.

What exactly do you want to claim compensation for?

The damage to the car(s) will be sorted out by insurance.

No you weren't hurt and also the company probably wouldn't like you trying it. It would make them look bad.

you can claim for injuries or stress/shock or lost earnings but as you said you are ok so what do you want to claim for?

I guess you do not watch court shows-like judge judy. You can claim whatever you want-getting something for it is probably a big 0
