Jesus.... Thats rough. No they shouldnt be able to get away with.

They rear ended you. Your 100% in the right. Go back to the Gardai, your

insurance company too. Don't let them away with it.

First of all, I hope you're alright 60kph is a fair speed to be hit at.

Second, sometimes the gardai prosecute for carless/dangerous driving other times they don't. You could speak to them and ask them are they going to issue a summons. If not, you could consider a private prosecution but it may not be worth it.

Finally, you can get compensation for the repairs to the car, medical expenses, personal injuries and other expenses from the other person's insurance company. You should probably speak to your solicitor for advice on it because 5 days in hospital would not be a minor injury. Your solicitor can deal with the insurance company and all the forms on your behalf if you like, so you don't need to worry about it too much.

Talk to the gards your insurance company doctor and eventually a solicitor. None of which you'll find here.

As the others have said, you need to get this reported to your insurance company and to theirs. Let them know what damages you have to your car, injurys to yourself etc and assuming it's as straight forward as you say it is then they should look after you.

* These are my personal thoughts, and you won't get advice on legal issues on Boards if that's the avenue you decide to pursue.
