NixM Posted December 18, 2013 Share So my bike rack was driven into last week while I was parked at a shopping center. I got the persons contact details and told him I would contact my insurance company. My insurance emailed to say they won't cover the rack. I then phoned the guy who drove into it and asked him to claim from his insurance, his car was also scratched. He said he is not claiming from insurance and cant I just have it bent straight. My question is surely this is now a weak spot on the rack and with prolonged vibrating while driving the arm could snap? Would any of you guys trust this. I have sourced a replacement frame from the supplier and emailed him the quote but he is now not replying to my messages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Clumsy Posted December 18, 2013 Share He must pay for a replacement or claim from his insurance. End of story...(also, I wont trust that) nathrix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyTrailRider Posted December 18, 2013 Share Hmmm, tough call. Personally, I wouldn't trust that. The danger to others - however unlikely - of a bike or two dropping onto the road would be the overriding factor for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamber Posted December 18, 2013 Share I hate riding my bike with even the smallest of niggles or squeaky sound- the same would apply for my bike rack. "Maak 'n plan" is not always a good plan. So no, I won't. Edited December 18, 2013 by Lamber XXL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 18, 2013 Share Do you have his details? Give them to your insurer and ask them to follow it up as part of the claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NixM Posted December 18, 2013 Share Do you have his details? Give them to your insurer and ask them to follow it up as part of the claim. My insurance company is not interested as I had not specified the rack in my policy. Not one of those you think about until it happens. And my car was undamaged. So annoying - he knows he is liable, he admitted he would have to pay for it and now he is back tracking. What is wrong with people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted December 18, 2013 Share If you managed to get any of his insurance details then lodge a third party claim with his insurance company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren_G Posted December 18, 2013 Share I hear everyone shouting that the guy must pay but unless it's specified in the policy document surely they can't just pay out (the claimant) a claim for it? What would they pay out against? Anyway the other guy should do the decent thing and claim from his insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeboy69 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Don't involve your insurance company as you didn't specify it and don't have damage to your car. Claim from his insurance company even if he is not submitting a claim for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
