Fighting an insurance claim

[caro]

Ok. Differences of opinion but it's down to the insurance company so unless anyone has any other advice for the OP, can it be left at that please.

 

Must admit the binman comment made me smile. lol

I would be asking why they have gone to a no win Lawyer and not handed it to her insurance company to deal with it

Some people would require a good shunt to have an injury.

Others just require an ambulance chasing solicitor.

How is that relevant?

[Slimm]

Insurance companies don't make personal injury claims on behalf of their clients. The claimant has a choice of using a solicitor or dealing personally with the at-fault insurer. Given that OP's stance I doubt the claimant would want to take the latter route.

Ok.

Age of the vehicles?(this will determine how much of a crumple/impact zone the vehicle has)

 

Age of the driver?(for reasons stated in my earlier post)

 

Age of the car that hit the claimants car?

 

Road conditions?

 

Also worth noting that I have dealt with someone recently who had whiplash in an accident. Their rear near side quarter was nudged but it left no mark. It was enough for the car to be turned and slide sideways on wet/icy road and then suddenly stop which caused a side impact whiplash to the left of the claimants neck radiating down into her shoulder. This was done at only a few miles an hour.

 

Your claim that without damage to the vehicle, that no injury could have been cause is utter horned beast poo.

 

My vehicle is 2010, claimants is 2008.

 

Claimant is is early 40's I'm in very late 20's

 

Road conditions were very dry.

 

As I said before the bumpers touched, it wasn't an 'impact'. Her car didn't move 1mm let alone the "pushed into the roundabout" (only reason she ended up in the middle of the roundabout was the fact we both moved up further to let the cars behind past).

 

The information provided by her goes against physics, yes it was a stupid thing to do however mistakes happen and we're not perfect. I'm more annoyed by the fact that they've lied.
