Afternoon all. Mate of mine has just been in a little bump.
He overtook a lorry that was turning right earlier than expected into a house driveway and clipped it. Damage to the lorry was minimal, to the car a lot more.
He spoke to the driver and he is fine with not going any further with his insurance and walking away on friendly terms. He's had a look at the car and the damage is a little more than he thought. Car value about £2k, will need a door and rear quarter panel sorted.
Can he still go to his insurance? No details were captured at the scene.

If it's a door and 1/4 or 3/4 panel on a £2k car the chances are the insurance company will write it off .
Insurance excess to pay and the chances of vastly increased insurance costs even if he has protected NCD.
Find a local non insurance bodyshop and see what they can do you may be lucky .
