Cycling around the lanes by my new pad Saturday and I came around a corner, only to see a car was cutting it. Saw it a bit too late, and, well, to cut a long story short, I have a broken leg and fractured elbow. Couple of ops over the weekend and I reckon 3 - 4 months unable to operate. New gig started today too, and after 6 weeks off in France and a house move, so the coffers are low, and I get this. Hey ho, life is like this sometimes. Might give me an opportunity to sit back and think about the future for a while.

On a serious note, if it was the car's fault you should be able to claim loss of income from their insurance. Can you send in a subbie till you're fixed?

Thanks.
As for the role, it's already re-advertised, as they really do need someone now. I am sending out some mails to some friends in the same business tonight, may try the substitution but IO guess it's up to them and the agent, who both seem good people.
I think I simply have to chalk it up as one of those things.Comment

If you have a signed contract, and enough accounts to prove your earnings history, then you should claim for loss of earnings. 3-4 months is a lot of money to let slide, especially if the warchest is depleted.
On the bright side, at least you aren't dead...While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

His 3rd party insurance should cover loss of earnings if it's his fault! That's genuine case to use lawyers also.Comment
