i was parked on a junction waiting to turn right when a lorry came reversing round the corner straight into me.
the driver had just been out the lorry asking for directions and parked up on the side. he got in. never checked any mirrors and just slammed it into reverse.
he then proceeded to say it was my fault because he used to work for an insurance company. i came out of nowhere apparently. he refused to give me his contact / insurance details and told me to call his firm. yet insisted i give mine which i did. he wanted me to admit fault which i refused to do so as i was stationary and he was the one reversing around a corner into me. he then basically said well i have a witness in the lorry with me so it's 2 vs 1 and i worked for "name of a well known insurance company" and you will lose and i'm happy for my insurer to fight you, etc.
basically the guy was a complete bell end who never even once asked if i was okay or the damage to the car yet his 5 tonne lorry barely had a scratch.
well when i phoned his firm they weren't too pleased he had a passenger in the lorry with him. apparently only he was meant to be in the lorry. i don't know if this invalidated their insurance or not. but the manager at the firm said he would be looking to sack him citing disciplinary not only for his actions but the fact he also had someone in the lorry with him who shouldn't have been in there.
i didn't need to get the police involved and my insurance sorted it all and his was held liable.
i did have to write a full statement to the haulage firm and provided the same statement to my insurance.
