Will booze cruiser's caravan collision see all savings drain away? — by Conrad Murray — last modified 2006-12-21 14:01

I was coming back from Dover in a hired van after undertaking a booze cruise and was about to pass a car towing a caravan in front of me. Suddenly the caravanner was forced to break hard because of a near accident in front of him. As a result the caravan jack-knifed into my lane and I struck it wrecking it completely, damaging the hired van and breaking a substantial part of my payload. I received a whiplash injury as a result of the impact. The police report appears to suggest that the van may have been overloaded, (although as much of the contents drained away at the scene, I do not know how they reached this conclusion). My insurer says the caravanner's insurance are now contesting liability. Can you give me any advice?
