Sorry to hear about your son's accident.

Have you taken pictures of the skid marks.

My son was involved in an accident (about 19 years ago), when he had first past his test. It was on the corner of the street, where we lived, the other driver offered to pay for the damage. But once he had got an estimate chenged her mind, it took me nearly 12 months before her insurance paid out. I was told by his broker's that pictures of where the broken glass (from his headlights) had fallen on the road, would have helped the claim, as it clearly showed that the other driver had come well over the white line in the middle of the road.

I have always found that it is important to be very insistant with insurance companies and not take 'No' for an answer.
