Insurance aged 18 with a claim unsettled

[madmover]

Hi all, recently had someone hit my car when i was stationary and at present the case is unsettled as the other party is claiming that i shouldnt of been where i was in the road and is disputing it, as a result my insurance renewal is through next month at the start of feb and the prices i have been getting are ridiculous! £6000 being the cheapest for a grande punto 1.4, just wondering if anybody has any serious recommendations as to where to try or alternative options of getting insurance are available. The two options which i am yet to fully explore are purchasing a brand new car from a dealership and getting them to do a deal on the insurance or insuring it under my company but it would mean that i would have no chance on building up no claims bonus and there would be other fees involved too although it would appear to be slightly more cost effective. Just wondering if anybody has any suggestions or has heard of any deals around regarding insurance and purchasing a new car/taking out insurance in general. Many thanks in advance to those who reply!

What do your current insurance company say (the one that is dealing with the claim)?
I would have thought they'd have been more accommodating to your predicament than any other insurer who is likely to assume that pending investigation = claim.
