  Early in June some nice man decided to drive into my car. Now I was driving along the main road and he  pulled out from a side road to go straight across but found my vehicle in the way.
He was very apologetic at the time, we exchanged details and I had the names and addresses of 2 passerbys as witnesses.
His insurance company is now saying that their insured cannot remember having an accident. Now that I call done right nastiness on his part. He had a nice low slung sports car and me a lowly estate, what does he gain by that. I am really annoyed with him as I was completely in the right.

Ah Kaz, some people are sh*ts 


Have the insurance company called upon the witnesses? surely they should in this case?


My husband had the windscreen on his Vw shattered by a huge rock that flew out of the lorry in front, we are chasing that claim too as the man involved is denying it, despite Tony seeing said lorry driver just leaving the tip where he had no doubt deposited loads of aggragate or something!


hope you get it sorted x

its his insurance company trying to 'adust the loss'

The insurance are going to speak to the witnesses, but whether they will help now I don't know. It may go as far as my insurance requesting a copy of the nice mans driving license which has a photo to identify him I had to give a description of the man to see if it ties up.

Kaz,
Hopefully they are just playing hard to get and the witnesses will be able to put things right.
Fingers crossed for you.

See, I'm just too pernickity    I would have insited on calling the police at the time (mainly to get an incident number for insurance purposes) and then he'd have no chance of trying to wriggle out of it.
What a tw*t    Hope you get it all sorted soon mrs - and karma will sort him out

The thing to do if you have an accident is to take pictures, we all walk round with a camera in our pockets nowadays get clicking.

He supposedly rang the police or so he said at the scene and gave me the police reference number for that date.
It seems really strange to me. I don't walk around with a mobile phone with camera because where we are there is just not a signel.

Hope it gets sorted out 

When all's said and done, he has to live with himself. If he has an ounce of decent upbringing, he'll feel uncomfortable. And even if not, he gets to live with himself and that's the best he gets out of life, being a miserable cheat. Seems a pretty poor, grubby sort of life compared with what's possible

Similar thing happened to me.  Elderly man who lived in my village said he hadn'y even seen me til his wife shouted.  Later he claimed I came round the corner on his side and smashed his back lights.      We were both insured with the same company and he was fully comp so he got his car fixed and we got half the value of our damage.  Couldn't afford to get the work done and he must have felt guilty cos he was ultra friendly after that to the extent that he nearly went off the road once he was so busy waving to my ex OH.
 
Hope your witnesses come up trumps.

[Beewyched]

I do so hope this can be sorted for you soon.  I'm another one who's too trusting with things like this - it's so soul destroying when folks scr*w you over.  I hope your witnesses step-up for you

If you have a crash even a minor one, call the police.  They won't love you for it if it's a small bump but even that can give you health problems in the future so do it.

[robert waddell]

sorry but calling the police is a waste of time and effort           fain an injury and they will be out like a shot they just love blood and guts and causing inconvenience to other road users when they shut roads of for hours
and try to remember don't cause an accident trying to avoid one    and another rule if you can stop even on the wrong side of the road   then it is the other driver that cant stop    works for the bus drivers

[doganjo]

Robert, all you need to say is 'my neck jerked back, I may have whiplash'  They'll be there!

[robert waddell]

no it is i cant move then the paramedic are out then they have to attend
