Not sure if this is the right place to post or whether anyone can help?
Driving to GP on Friday along a narrow road, cars parked both sides, only just enough room for 2 vehicles to pass.
I heard an enormous bang, pulled over and my passenger side wing was gone
Turns out a chap parked on my left hand side had been standing next to his car, slipped on the ice and his door opened up onto the wing/front passenger door of my car.
The chap was really apologetic, said it was entirely his fault, phoned the police (not interested, no-one injured} and said again to the police that it was entirely his fault.
I'm only 3rd party, fire & theft, my insurers aren't interested. His insurers say it's a 'no blame' situation.
My front bumper/headlights are totally entact, not a mark on the them. The door obviously hit my vehicle when my front end was past his door.
What can I do? I can't drive my car, not sure if it's legally road worthy, no one is interested in looking at my car or the damage. Is it just tough luck
