Hi, Have been rumaging round on this site for a while after getting a letter from a solicitors. couldnt really find a similar situation so im hoping you guys can help.
Basically 2 weeks ago i was riding my motorbike up to london and got caught up in the snow, nightmare. i was riding left of center in the right hand lane (left lane was non existant due to snow) doing no more than 10mph with a massive distance between me and the car in front. vis was very poor. a people carrier came up behind me and was making attempts to over take me at one point i lost him in my rearview mirror as i checked my blind spot he was trying to go around me i then had to move to avoid him as i did i lost the front of the bike and went down. he then hit me as he tried to brake in those conditions he just slid striaght.
all was fine exchanged details no damage to the front of his car and my screen just smashed with a few scratches. i didnt inform my insurance company as the hassle to claim of his insurance and having a non fault claim is not worth the £100 for a new screen.
i got a letter this morning from his solicitors saying he will be taking action for damages of whiplash and back pains. the reason was that i was driving recklessly (basically).
If he hit you from behind then he is at fault. You need to get your insurance company involved, and forward them the letter you received. You should have informed them immediately after the incident, so speak to them now and check they will still deal with it.
