This guy is clearly trying to screw you over by saying its your fault. I would try my dam hardet to win the case and then get a whippy in.
Yes Insurance compaines do make everyone else pay. But thing is, everybody else would do the same to you if they could. And anyway, i only asked if he did have whiplash, how does anyone know if the poor kid has it or not? Simply offering advice to the lad, that is all
This poor lad has now lost his car and could well be tramutised by what has happened. And the ohter party is trying to take advantage of it.
Bo***ks to him, you win that case my man if your certain your in the right !!! Last edited by 180tomtom on Mon Dec 20, 2010 4:37 pm; edited 2 times in total

GOOD LUCK mate.

Diagrams, google earth etc etc is futile. There are no witnesses, I could draw a stickman santa and it will be just as useful.
No witnesses = 50/50.
It's a shame as this guy is clearly a complete p***k. But there's nothing to be done
#38: Re: advice required on collision Author: smiddies, Location: BrightonPosted: Tue Dec 21, 2010 5:12 am ---- Well if it does go down 50/50, you have his contact details, sign him up to alot of spam!!

i had a very simalar case a year or so back and this is what my insurance company told me to do, so i did and a won, they didnt just go 50/50 at all even with out witnesses, they ask the garage for a damage report to show where the cars were hit etc and they couldn't make any kind of decission untill they have all the reports form you and the garage and one of the insurance companys with accept liability if they think they wont win if it goes to court, this is only what my insurance company told me before.

as it was a sharp bend before the turning i had little time to see and so i breaked harder than i should of resulting my skidding about one-two feet into the other car,
So you went too fast round the bend and couldn't stop in time. The other car driver couldn't see round the bend to see you coming. What else could he have done other than edge out slowly? He had no way of avoiding what happened.
#41: Re: advice required on collision Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Tue Dec 21, 2010 6:11 am ---- i think am sure that if he pulled out infront of on coming car he is at fault, nothing to say he was driving to fast is there. i'm sure that this is how the insurance company will look at it.
#42: Re: advice required on collision Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Dec 21, 2010 6:27 am ---- But if the other driver couldn't see round the bend then he pulled out when the road was clear. If a car suddenly appears and can't stop in time that driver is travelling at a speed in which his stopping distance is greater than the distance he can see.
#43: Re: advice required on collision Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Tue Dec 21, 2010 6:36 am ---- but they cant prove that either car was driving at speed, this is one thing that some times is unfair to people when a car is speeding, the insurance wont take it into account unless it was caught on camera. they cant even prove that the car skidded unless they took pics. so all they have is that one car pulled out of junction infront of another,
my friends mother done it before she pulled out a little bit at a junction becuase she couldn't see and a car came speeding around teh corner missed her but hit another car trying to avoid her and she had all the fault.. and he was speeding i was in the car with her, i couldn't believe it but there you go.
mad how it works isn't it.
i'd like to find out how this one comes off.
as far as i know though its rare that they use 50/50

It's not rare at all. I'd go so far as to bet my left testicle on this going 50/50!
Edward has just got it bang on. That's the way this guys insurance company is going to argue it. They never pay out if they can help it. Davo's insurance company will obviously go against it. No winner, so the companies agree to go 50/50 to save money, time and effort. They don't care about clients, they care about productivity.
