I just got lucky that it didn't come to that.

At the end of the day, I'm not sure how much room you have to do anything at this point, since technically by taking the payout on collision you've settled with them on the claim... Medical usually pays out first.

They didnt care that it happened at BIR? Or did you have to get special permissions with insurance for that? I always assumed they wouldnt cover stuff that happened "off road". Interesting
