I have just received a personal claim injuries form from a third party I presume it is one of these no win no fee people, regarding an accident that happened in 2011, The 3rd party has stated that I reversed into her, which is not the case, The lane ahead of me had been closed which I did not see prior to turning out of a supermarket entrance I stopped to evaluate the road, then realised that they had left an opening the other side of the barrier enough to swing round and drive down the other side of the carriage way, there was no reason for me to reverse, however the 3rd party failed to stop going into the back of my car, fortunately there was no damage that required fixing on my car just a scuffe mark, I also had my mom in the car I actually looked in the mirror before the impact noticing her also coming out of the supermarket car park and said to my mom, I hope she stops, I pumped my break lights but it was too late. When she got out of the car I said did you not see my brake lights and she said yes then questioned why I had stopped.
The advise I am looking for is I feel she has falsely put In a claim for personal injury she is claiming she has suffered headaches , stress and sleepless nights as a result of the stress. even though I was stationary at the time of impact, neither mom or myself receive any injury as a result of the incident as the speed of the impact was low. I passed all the details through to my insurance company who I was with at the time of the collision. Can I put in a complaint to the insurance body.
What should I do now do I get in touch with my old insurance company regarding this as it has really freaked me out receiving a copy of a county court summons to appear in court. I have had no further communication since logging the accident to say this was being instigated, Just one call from my insurance at the time of registering the accident to say she was after personal injury compensation. I pressumed all would be dealt with one way or another through the insurance companies, so why has she gone down this line.
Do I have a right to claim from her for the stress this has caused me.
Sorry if this post has really dragged out but I am really freaking out.
