Lying BMW driving scumbag. UPDATE No'3 On Page 7 29/4/13

[Fisty]

Late last year I was sat at traffic lights in my worthless Fiat Punto when I Was hit from behind by an older gentleman in a few weeks old top of the range BMW.
The damage to my car was minimal, a cracked bumper and numberplate.
His BMW faired less well, headlight, bumper, grille, bonnet and the airbags went off.
We exchanged details, but decided not to go through insurance as he wanted to protect his no claims and my car is worth less than jivebunny's life. £50 was given to me to sort a used bumper and a new plate, happy days.

I had forgotten about the incident until yesterday when I had a call from my insurers..... (you can see where this is going).........


HE HAS CLAIMED I REVERSED INTO HIM!!!!!!

Claiming for £4500 damages to the car and £9k personal injuries!!!

What an absolute bellend. If IF he ends up winning this, I am going to cause £4.5k of damage to his car and £9k of damage to him.
I really wish I had got him to sign something to say he was at fault now!

Could the length of time he has allowed to lapse be in your favour?

I hope this works out for you.

- Hang on, how hard would you have to be reversing into him for the airbags to go off?!?

Loss adjusted

It'll be rather difficult for him to prove that. Don't worry, just repeat the truth to them and he'll have to prove otherwise...

What reason would you have to reverse from a red light?

This won't go in his favour.

"G" : you got him to have a look at a forum which seems to have established a picture of an erect penis in a cat's mouth as it's mascot and thought he might consider it ok?

[UrbanRacer]

He has zero chance of winning if you stick to your guns, the only way for you to cause that damage is if you were reversing at high speed

Just for future reference if anyone has something similar happen, write out a document and copy it. both you and them sign them.
make sure it says full and final settlement for the incident that happened date/time/location between you and them

[Lyam]

considerig the damage to his car he would of had to go through insurance, especially with airbags goig off. lesson learned, though he can also just get someone to say they witnessed it and boom its your fault.

[stinkwheel]

Did you report it to your insurance company? If you did an incident report at the time, it will carry a lot of weight legally. It's called a concurrent record.

Can you prove he gave you the money? Please say he was stupid enough to give you a cheque? Tantamount to admitting liability.

Some shyster claims lawyer has found out about his bump and has persuaded him he'll get a load of cash out of it is what's happened.

EDIT:
Will an airbag even deploy in a stationary vehicle?

Also forgot to add, my insurers now say I have an unresolved claim and have upped my premium by £80 a month.

I would contact BMW to find out what would cause the airbags to go off.

i.e. over 15mph moving forwards and in excess of 2g deceleration.

This simple information could put an immediate end to his bullshit if he says he was stationary in his statement.

This is the problem with trying to do ANYONE a favour when they have caused an accident. They turn in to cunts and try to fuck you in the ass.

Don't bother, it's really not worth it. If you are not liable, stitch them up before they do the same to you!

Imagine if we came across an alien species on a nearby planet who we somehow managed to observe without intruding on them at all. Now imagine if this species were not communal, didn't think about the greater good of their society, and generally were out to stab each other in the back and did silly useless petty things serving no purpose to the greater good of life. I mean imagine if even a small minority of the aliens were like this. You'd find it a bit ridiculous and hilarious in equal measure.

Sometimes I hate humans. Hah.

What a massive cock. A sort of similar thing happened to me, but I actually was to blame for the incident so I just took it. He really pushed for everything though - him and his wife.

[sickpup]

Don't mess about, report him to the Police for fraud.

[JonB]

Unfortunately the moral of the story is to trust no-one.

I'd have been inclined to have raped the Beemer driving for personal injury in the first place.

Were there any CCTV cameras in the vicinity? Although a bit late now.

It's going to be his word against yours so he won't get anywhere anyway.

Don't suppose you took his home address btw, just so, y'know

[beast rider]

Deny any knowledge of said incident as there is no damage to your car.

[Drew]

[Marmalade]

Did you post about it at the time on any forums?

This could help backup your story but also cause your insurance company to see some of the other shit you've been up to.

Where the chuff does your insurer get the idea that they can retroactively put your risk through the roof and unilaterally increase your premium mid way through a policy that was (almost certainly) paid up front with a loan from the broker?

Dream on that you'll be claiming that money back from anyone.

Read your contract, get a complaint in right away.

Get yourself a witness, pronto.

Tell them what to say. (I.e what happened, say they were walking past and only approached you later or something, someone you can trust to go to court if needs be who won't buckle under pressure giving the game away.)
