Not even the feintest idea where to start with this one.
I got hit by a cab last year, gave the guy my name and address (but gave the wrong postcode, what with... yanno, just being hit by a freaking cab) and today I get a call saying I've got post to collect, and it's a claim form submitted by his lawyers which look like they've been instructed by his insurance.
To be clear, there was never any certainty over who was at fault. He's obviously been told by his insurance (or someone in the know) to claim it was my fault, or he'd not be covered, so that's what he's done.
And the insurance company, rather than go after Santander Cycles (who say I'm fully insured whilst using their bikes) they've come directly after me.
So, what do?
The most logical thing would be to write to these solicitors and tell them to contact Santander Cycles, right?
Or am I missing something?
