Oh come on seriously. There is not one single benefit, ever, of doing that, no matter what you say.

Well he knew what the weather was like so he should have taken the extra care to make sure he could safely pull out.

and that whiplash thing, I think you will find it won't go up one bit for you if this person claims. And it's a dog eat dog world so do what you want mate.

Maybe not, but it goes up for every other bleeder on the road. How do you think insurance companies cover their costs of these artificial claims? They hike prices up across the board.

Not only that, claiming for injuries you don't have is a fraudulent activity and illegal. If you were found out to be claiming illegally, then any gains you had from the 'whiplash' would be eclipsed by the criminal costs and court costs of defending yourself. Plus compensation to the insurance company who paid the sum, and the driver who you claimed off.

Perhaps time to re-think your strategy? Wink

If you went round a corner and drove into the car it could be argued it's your fault. After all, if he parked his car at the junction (for example if it was broken down) and you drove into it that would suggest you were driving too fast for the road conditions/layout.

It's going to go 50/50 either way. No witnesses and as Edward has just hit the nail on the head. I'd put money on it.

Make sure you tell your insurance company that the other party has been in touch with you & left you that voicemail message Wink

Since when are people not allowed to do that? He was just informing him that he has notified his insurers of the incident.

This will certainly go knock for knock - regardless of the fact this sukka was pulling across your lane. Makes me sick really because this guy has ruined your day, and a lot more than that, and the ice and corner etc is gonna get him off the hook of blame. Skidding on ice is unfortunate and doesnt mean you were speeding, but can be agrued you werent driving correctly for the conditions.
Same sort of thing happened to a friend of mine on non icy roads and even somebody who lived at the end of her road who saw it happen and vouched for my friend was classed as 'not independant' as they lived in the same street!

Sometimes i wonder if anything doesnt go knock for knock these days regardless of whats occured. Some sort of gentlemans agreement between insurance companies or something.

You are not meant to contact the other party after reporting it to the insurance company.

Its the insurance companies job to sort it out as that's what they are paid for.

go back up there and take pics of where it happened and print them out, draw diagramme on them showing where the cars were, if he pulled out in front of you it is his fault 100%, (i had same type of claim couple of years ago), in the end though it is the insurance companies who decide . the more evidence you give the better, get on google earth etc, they ask you on the phone what happened then they'll send you a accident report form to fill out, really go into detail with it.

they also go by the garage report of the damage, e.g if you drive into the back of some one, if the garage give a report saying that there rear danage to the one car and front damage to the other then they will use that as evidence
