Over 12 months ago my car was hit by another car when the driver realised he had nowhere else to go because of a car parked up ahead.
The driver and his insurer have been extremely difficult, and now they have hired a solicitor who is making all sorts of legal threats. I do have dashcam footage of the accident which also shows the claim made by the driver is false. According to them however the footage doesn't actually show where the two cars connected so it doesn't prove a thing. Apparently I am also being uncooperative for not waiting a couple of hours for the next available operator and sending them emails instead, and they will seek legal costs from me as I have not accepted their paltry offer of settlement.
Obviously bluff but time for me to get a solicitor before I make a mistake which is probably what they are hoping for.
I'm in Sydney. Any recommendations based on experience of a solicitor who deals with such matters? Maybe PM me with names.
Cheers
