I called aunty lucy on the spot when the accident happed. they said that since i was hit from the rear, i will have to claim the taxi's insurance and i can go to any workshop after i have reported to IDAC. aunty lucy will not get involved unless there is someone claiming from me. the lawyer is assigned by workshop. i thought everything would go as smooth as what you said, so i am pretty shocked at what is happening.
