I had an [moderator edit….accident] The defendents insurers are trying to heavily discount the cost of my road bike, It's a Specialized Tarmac SL4 purchased in 2018 which Specialized replaced with a brand new 2019 frame in May19 due to a fault, I also have a carbon wheelset which was purchased just 3 months before the accident. Both bike and wheelset were pristine.

My argument is that without a costly scan/xray on the carbon frame we cannot be sure of the bike and wheels safety and either they undertake this, or fully compensate me for the bike.

My solicitor has been unable to locate any supporting case law in support of our claim for new for old.

Does anyone on the forums have any advice or point me to some case law that may be of help?
