Hi Guys, hopefully someone may be able to help. At the beginning of the year (the 5th January to be precise) I reversed in to a car behind me.
I was at some lights, ready to drive off, until I noticed a bus coming towards me on my right. So I reversed back to avoid a collision, only to hit the car behind me. I pulled over and so did the other car. I inspected the damage, and due to the low speed, only her (the driver behind me) number plate was cracked (I took photos just in case) and no other damage was sustained to the car.
I have today received a County Court Claim Form which gives the particulars of the accident and the whiplash/medical injuries the other driver sustained. On the form, there is a number of mistakes, mainly dates, specifically the date of accident. Also, the details given by the claimant state I moved forward to pull out on to a roundabout, which is not right - there was no roundabout.
Also, the Doctor who claims to have performed a medical checkup gives the date of examination of May 2007, which is about 18 months prior to the accident.
Are any of the points above enough to question the proceedings? Or am I just clutching at straws?
Any help would be great.
Phil
