Today i had a knock in a car park. I'm a young driver and have been driving fo just over a year claim free and i dont know what to do in such a situation. Obviously details were taken but i forgot to take pictures. :(

Heres a picture of it. Im the red car and the black block is a Black peugeot 307. The car park was very full and all the spaces were taken around him on both sides.

He accusing me of 'bombing' around the corner. Why would i do that in a busy place and in a car that can't corner (old fiesta 1.1) I was in first and on the clutch as i went around the corner so i was going very very slow. He also kept saying 'why didnt you see me?!' he also said that he was crawling out of the space which would surely mean he'd of had time to react as the front of my car was visible?

The drivers side front bumper hit my passenger door in the middle of the door and has bent it in and then dented my B pillar causing the car to jump/slide over slightly. The only damage caused on his car was a scuffed bumper which is a little plastic plate that clips onto the corner of the bumper. He sounded very confident about going through the insurers.

I inspected his damage but he didnt even bother looking at mine. His car has stupid lexus lights on too :(

So am i at fault? Just wondering if i should go through insurers.
 
I do fox, thankfully i wasnt in it. It's in the garage as im restoring it.
 
Thanks everyone i've written it all down in a document as to what things he said and waht happened so i can remember if i need to do anything. He seemed very confident that it was my fault. I obviously said it was his. There wernt any witnesses but as i was picking up a friend he saw the damage done to both cars.
 
He didnt see the accident but he saw the damage done on both cars. No one saw it happen :(
