Hi All

On the 09/04/10 I crashed my CSL straight into a wall head on it was so bad they had to cut the roof off to get me out. I spent the night in hospital and the next day got out and was back to work within 2 weeks. So all good until this morning when the insurance gave me my offer £19500. I asked the guy if he was joking but he said no that was there offer that is the glasses guide value.
