I made a not at fault claim[1] andforgot about it for 3 months. then decided to chase it up.
to my delight it had been approved and had been sitting in someones inbox for god knows
how long, and by calling up i got them to rustle about and find it. a fortnight later i had a $950
cheque in my hand.
So in short, chase it the hell up.
[1] The ****wit was DUI and thusly all insurance was null & void. In the process he had written
his 99 magna off, a *NEW* import skyline and a 2001 commodore off, meanwhile i had just
gotten a bumped front left panel and a broken indicator),
