Bike knocked down!! help guys@!

[Binny]

my bike was knocked down this noon. Juz a slight scratch..i'm able to contact e person who knocked my bike down..think how much shud i claim from him? e guy hit and run sia..angry..

[craz_03]

how come u r able to contact the person since he hit n run? on the roads? or at the carpark with ur bike parked??

if u got a witness, go n make a police report, den an idac report.. n tow ur vehicle from ur bikeshop over to idac for photo takings. this applies to both situations i mention above.

 

if that fella knock in the carpark n leave a note.

tell him u will file for a claim.. n go make a report n idac also.. n tell him to go idac also..

den when u go idac, write the senario most favourable to u..

 

n let ur bikeshop do the claim

[Binny]

got witness saw e guy in uniform. Got photo somemore. so i called e company and providing the car plate number. then e guy called back. if i wish to settle out of court? how much compensation should i seek? any advise? now e best part. the person's hp is off.

[craz_03]

no prob..

u got the no. plate, u got the person's no.

u got the witness, n the photo..

 

go to the police n file a report...

den idac in 24hrs when the incident happened..

 

if this is the case, i reckon its at the carpark with ur bike parked in a lot? or outside a lot..

if outside a lot, den chances of winning might be lower...

[Binny]

its at some road..but that guy also parked illegally there. And he willing to compensate..juz i dunno how much i shud ask him to compensate.

[craz_03]

u r already lucky enough that he is willing to compensate so dun "over claim" him... if this case brought to court... u may not even claim a single cent or worst, both parties kana fined by TP...

 

u can choose to settle this privately or if u wanna go by the law, chance are both parties might suffer a loss...

fino.. balancer, ferring, exhaust protector scratched. bike alignment seems ok..dunno any internal injury to e bike anot.. haiz.

 

if u want to avoid the hassle, just go to a very reputable bike shop, do full diagnostic and replaced, remember not repair or knock back etc. but replaced all damages with new and original parts/accessory. then ask him to cover all expenses.

i tink lidat confirm is fleecing him out liaoz..

coz they are both at fault for parking at a non parking place...

 

juz like if u park at double yellow, n a car juz brush across, u cant claim full from him, n u might juz get some points too...

or u can be seen as a obstruction on the road.. IMO..

 

balancer change a cheap one which costs ard 10-15,

ferrings which are damaged juz take out to bike shop patch n spray back..

exhaust protector juz leave it, since if u're bound to fall down or wat den change.

total ard 200 bahz.. ( not including bending back of fork if needed as u juz otang urself lo)

if not,

u pm me, i teach u one trick.. =)

[Binny]

but e fact tt he hit n run so i dun tink he will be tt foolish..

[denniz]

hmmm... u never know, later he die, he also wanna drag u and die together with him.

 

By right, all accidents should be reported. not doing so is already an offence.

 

If i m not wrong...

all ccident where there's injury, death or damage to private property must be reported otherwise it all up to u.....

 

personally invoved in an accident once....police happen to pass by, stop ask if there's any injury and if we need help. since involved party said that we settling among ourselves, the police just look around and left. they just ensure we are not blocking traffic .....

You are wrong. Rules are there for a reason. It does not mean that you need to report to police. BUT you need to report to you insurance company as it is mandantory. You can say that you do not wish to claim and wish to do the settlement privately. It is a writeen rule. By not doing so, there will be difficulties claiming from the other party in the near future, if you wish to claim against his insurance company.

 

Remember: There are many creative people. Stories changes over time. Witnesses changes side easily hahha.

He's rite.

The logical and safest advice is still the same:

Whether you are pursuing a claim against the other party's insurance or not, ALWAYS FILE A REPORT WITH YOUR OWN INSURANCE COMPANY.

Your insurance company will note this down but take no action as no claims are being filed against you. Yet...

But do make sure that your insurance company doesn't suddenly decide to increase your premium for no good reason, especially if the other party did not claim against you.

 

You can file a report with IDAC as well. Just say you have not decided to file a claim yet but wants to commit and file a report as the incident is still fresh in your memory.

You can always inform IDAC that you are not claiming and withdrawing the report at a later date if both parties decide to resolve amicably.

All small issues here, just ask for $80 and go for a nice dinner with your partner or whoever.

 

Why bother going through the hassle of changing and claiming?

[Binny]

anyway, already settle. thanks all.

[spirals]

ha...at least it's settled.

Just for info...

 

ins. co. won't process the other party claims if they did not have ur approval... or at least tat is the case for me years back...

i pity the bugger thou, waste time n $$$....
