Hi all!


I took my other (not so petrol consuming) car to France in the summer and got hit by a Frenchie driving on the wrong side of her own road! The car's a write-off..


Every EU insurer has to have a partner in each EU state which deals on their behalf, and the UK partner for her insurer is AFA. They've sent an 'engineer' (loss adjuster) round who's valued the car, but I think it's worth more and they haven't offered my anything at all yet. I'd like to investigate taking it to court as I can't see an end in sight otherwise..


My question is, does anyone have any experience of taking a foreign driver to court over an accident in France and therefore any good advice? The Motor Insurers Bureau website just says to consult legal advice in this situation, but that costs even more and I was hoping someone here may have some experience..


Much thanks as always!
Mike.
