There are too many people coming over to the UK seemingly just to have car crashes and claim for personal injury, knowing that our insurance companies will pay out rather than face the expense of challenging in court. It's getting to the point where we will all be fitting our cars with journey-recorder cameras! At least, if more drivers buy one, they should come down in price. (And improve in video quality). There has been a previous discussion on this forum about the Roadhawk camera. Unfortunately, without witnesses, you need some good legal representation from your motoring organisation or union or whatever you have access to. The ECU won't be of any help.

The downside of journey-recorder cameras is that they can go against you! The car's speed is recorded and will tell on you if you're exceeding the speed limit. In your case, it would have shown that you were stationary at the time of the impact, and that you had been stationary for some seconds prior to the impact. Get one fitted! Help bring the price down!

If you have been hit from behind it should be quite stright forward ! but you need to stick to your guns, I was struck from behind on a motorway by a car travelling at 90 when i was staionary ! The insurance company and others spent months trying to acuse me of having caused the accident but in the end had to bow ! It was a nightmare and dont talk to anyone on the phone who claims they are from an insurance company trying to vairyfy the facts ! they really try to twist your story.

Crash data can be retrived from your car but whether Skoda can do it or it will require the data to be retirived by a specialist. I suspect it will need a specialist.

My experince of no witnesses was a 50/50 claim when i was hit head on whilst i was staionary by a car out of control but no witeness !

I have been using roadhawk camera's for 4 years and brilliant. all our cars are fitted with them and worth there weight in gold. Had an incident with a drunk, caught on camera ! all sorted in one evening and the guy got done. Brillinat bit of kit.

I know there are a lot of people that think its overkill but I can asure you fantastic.

I wish you well and hope your all OK as its not a nice experince.
