How can i check that somebody else hasn't had this money because if they have then that to me is some sort of crime and i would like to sort this out

I say this as you say " I filled out my insurance claim form and gave it to the driver of the car who passed it on to the insurers" - which is not the usual procedure if solicitors are indeed involved. The report (after the medical examonation) would ordinarily come through to you after about 3/4 weeks after the actual examination, so I am surprised to see that nothing further is mentioned here. Certainly you would be asked to approve the report and the value of any damages would largely be based upon the content of that report. If you have solicitors you clearly need to contact them to find out what is going on. If you are dealing directly with the insurers for the negligent driver then (and they are dragging their heels) then you need to decide whether you need someone to properly sort the matter out for you. We can do this of course and will seek to recover the costs from the third party. Certainly a CRU certificate coming through, is suggestinve of a claim that is relatively advanced (and one of these needs to be obtained before any compensation is paid by any insurer). As to payment of damages to a third party - no the insurers will not do this without some form of consent and authorisation from yourself. We are happy to assist. If you wish us to take matters futher, can you kindly contact our Mrs Swarbrick on 0844 800 7452 or visit Click Accidents Web Site. Hope this helps. You will need to provide: 1. The full names and addresses and references of all the relevant parties and their insurers; 2. Details of the accident (times, dates, what happened) etc. edited by www.clicklegalservices.co.uk on 12/10/2011
