Well I suppose when push comes to shove, you never really know what will happen until you are in a real life situation.................that's what I found out last Friday afternoon, when I was involved in a very nasty car accident.

To cut a long story short, it was the other drivers fault (Spanish male around 65 years old) My 16 year old Son escaped without a scratch, thank God and so did the driver of the other car.

Me, well I was semi conscious, with chest and rib injuries, unable to move. The ambulance took me off to hospital, while my Son who stayed calm and very adult throughout the whole scenario, stayed onsite until my friends also arrived to bring him back home.

He photographed everything, liaised with the Mossos and the Firemen etc, giving an account of what had happened.

He immediately called my insurance broker, Sammy Thomas, who advertises on this forum, who immediately went into action telling Ryan what to do from an insurance point of view.

Sammy has been in constant contact all weekend, asking for different information etc, and is now in the process of helping to claim for injuries sustained, and also the fact that my airbag didn't deploy on a 3 year old Chevrolet 4x4 Captiva.

I will update this post as things develop.
