Sorry to hear that Dave. Hope your insurance sorts it out quickly for you.

What about all your gear inside? Is it salvageable?

If fully comp your insurance will fix the van and claim the money back from the person at fault, this may take a bit of time
and you could lose your no claims until its sorted in court, but any money lost as a result can be claimed back.
Its a nightmare I got the back of my van wrecked by a guy who then denied the accident happened, luckily unknown to him I had photographed the damage caused to his own car, this left him with nowhere to go.
Took a few years before it was sorted and to be honest I had to threaten my own insurance company (Axa) with legal action to get them to finally sort it.
Hope it goes well for you mate, but any nonsense get to a solicitor asap.

Im not sure if Adrian Flux will supply a wfp van?
I was with them a few years ago when someone bumped into the back of my van and damaged a rear door.
Everything was dealt with swiftly and to my satisfaction.
The courtesy van that was supplied was without a wfp system as I expected it to be, and I plodded on for about a week with backpack and water barrels until I got my van back.

I was also wondering if your van was parked legally at the time of the incident?

My wifes car was written off recently and the insurance rep said it was my fault as I pulled out of the junction.  Regardless that a drunk driver was speeding around the bend and on the wrong side of the road. lol

You lost an insurance claim involving a drunk driver?

I didn't think that was possible.

The car was fully comp so they had no choice but to sort it out regardless who they were trying to blame.
Still it was a lot of hassle dealing with these clowns.

We had an offduty copper decide to overtake one of our landies while it was turning right.

It went to court without our knowledge and apparently it was found 70 - 30 in our favour. We will be appealing that.
