Hi, wonder if anyone can advise me. My son was knocked off his moped about 6 months ago by a bloke pulling out of a side turning. Because of the circumstances, and the fact my son was filtering through traffic, his insurers have said this will most likely be settled on a 50/50 basis, even though i think the fault lies with the driver.The problem here is that my son is hoping to be driving a car soon, but this settlement is going to make his car insurance about £10,000 which seems totally unfair in my view. I was wondering, if the other driver agreed, if these cases can be dropped completely, he had very little damage to his car, so probably doesnt stand to gain much, and may not want his own premium affected. As for my son, his bike was written off, and he would be sacrificing 50% of an injury claim which could amount to a couple of grand, but would still be better than paying £10,000 insurance for his car.This case has dragged on so long now, we just want to come to some kind of agreement. would much appreciate if anyone has any thoughts on this. Thanks
