Car hit by an ambulance - what to do?

[Lucky Pierre]

My Mrs' car was parked outside her mum's house today when an ambulance came to one of the neighbours', scraping the side of the car in the process. She reckons the whole of that side will need a respray, and with her having a rather large excess, claiming through the insurance would not be worth it.

 

Do the ambulance's insurers stump up for this kind of thing? And who would we contact about it?

[Phoenix]

Yes they do. If you have Legal expenses insurance on your policy contact them and they should be able to recover the repairs charges for you or accident management people like Helphire Group plc should be able to help you

[Andy M]

Contact her insurer along with details of the accident and state the reg of the ambulance etc.

Don't know the reg, the ambulance got off straight away. Got a police incident number though.

Surely the police will find the Ambulance as all call outs are logged. Just have to hope they find some of your lasses paintwork on it. If they can't then the incident number is worth nowt unless she has fully comp with her own insurers who would then have to pay.

Just get the Paramedic to put a big Plaster over the scratch.

If you contact the Ambulances insurance(once you get it ) they will offer to repair it directly at one of the approved garages of which there are loads in Wirral .

Stab a family member, wait for ambulance to arrive and check for scrapes. Repeat until the offending ambulance returns

[rubble-rouser]

The ambulance trust will probably self-insurer. Your insrance company should get in touch with him for you.

The ambulance was on it's way to ours after the realisation of you having a bird and child on the way had finally sank in.
