Hey guys, recently i had a minor collision with my car, it was my fault, i pulled out at a bad time totally not seeing the woman driving towards me, I don't know how i missed seeing her but its done now and i accepted the blame.
Anyway we sorted our damages etc and no claims had to be made on the insurance. However, next thing i know this morning is a letter from her solicitor saying she is claiming medical compensation....this, after she had stated numerous times it was 'ok aslong as no ones hurt'
she was clearly 100% fine, and several witnesses, outside of the area i was driving (who i know) as well as people down at the garage where we took our cars to get quoted on 10 mins later have all seen her walking hunky dory like no ones business. It was about a 15mph knock, if that. Like seriously the most minor collision you could wish for.
As it stands her claim would mean our insurance pay out, with no excess paid, but it would leave my dad with 1 strike (as i am just a named driver) out of 3 before his no claims is affected.
Do i have a chance in hell of stopping her doing it? Its the most ridiculous medical compensation claim i've come across, theres literally no basis for it, just her cheating the system, it feels almost illegal
Thankyou, sorry if its a long read!
