Hit by a car crossing flow of traffic

[lucylou29]

I was traveling on a road with the flow of traffic and went through a traffic junction, there was two cars waiting to cross in front of me and into the road on my left the first car went because he had enough room to do so and the second obviously didn't look and followed him through thinking it was clear and smashed into the side of my car i didn't see it coming and was injured. My light was green and his would have been green for straight on on his side of the road, a green filter light comes on when it will be clear to go meaning mine would be red. God knows what he was thinking he obviously wasn't looking.

I claimed on my own insurance as i didn't know what to do, he wouldn't admit fault my car was a total loss, my witness can only say where my car was and his and not what colour the lights was, the police came but couldn't see that either of us had committed a crime.

He has said i ran a red light, he had bought the car the day before and lives 100 miles away and is not from my city.

i am not admitting liability 1 bit, his compo claim wants a 50/50 and my insurance still haven't resolved it?

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated to put my mind at rest.

thanks

Yes once he had hit me and i managed to get out of my car and i called the police myself because my car was a wreck and both cars where blocking the road and to be honest i was in shock and didn't know what to do i wasn't sure if he was uninsured or drunk i just wanted them to come, but also an off duty police officer stopped as well. The police asked us both what happened, took details from me and the witness and the other driver and then arranged for my car to be recovered we were both breathalised. They said that we would have to deal with it through our insurance companies. They said that they have seen many accidents at this same spot and said i won't be last. I didn't need an ambulance but was advised to go to hospital anyway just to be on the safe side, my boyfriend came and picked me up and we went off to get checked out at hospital i had severe whiplash and bruises, and was given x rays and spent 5 hours in hospital, i spent a week off work, had 10 weeks of physio and still have the pain in my neck 5 months on. (I have put an accident claim in also)

I had a witness who straight away came over and said she saw it all, she said he just set off he tried to beat you and followed the car infront she was very helpful and stayed with me and because i am not familiar with insurance or claims and i am fully comp i called my insurance company for advice and was advised to claim on mine as a non fault accident and they are recovering it back from him, or trying to anyway.

I think i have included everything.
