Insurance claim fraud?

Without risking prejudicing things by naming names or giving specific details...

In April this year I was driving my wife's D4 in lane two of a roundabout and another car crossed from lane three to take an exit onto a dual-carriageway and hit the Disco'. Its been nothing but grief since: liability is still disputed; a large personal injury claim; the other party's insurers going for all they can get. Our legal protection insurance has been handling our side but is now about to go to court. Going to court means I have seen the statement by the other party who claims I was in lane 1 to take the dual-carriageway, that he was in lane 2 and I cut across him. He does not know I have dashcam footage that shows I am right, he is wrong.

Is it just me, or does this smell of attempted insurance fraud?

Legalising 'no win, no fee' just opened the floodgates - as was obvious to everyone at the time. Rolling Eyes

I’d be a little worried that my insurers had not disclosed this to the other side. If it gets to court, you should be fine once the tribunal sees it.

When it goes to court, each party has to disclose their defence to the other party as part of the submission process.

If it as you say it’s and you have dash cam footage. I suspect things will change rapidly and you won’t end up in court. That’s not to say the other driver won’t though, but for other reasons.

?????? why hav'nt you told your insurance you have footage to stop the case dead in its track from day 1 as it takes alot of time hours and money involved to get as far as you've gone .

They got the footage on day one: they just didn't let the other side know they had it. The other party's solicitors take weeks to respond to anything. If they really wanted to sort it out, it would have been a long time ago, but have been very aggressive about things. Neutral

They don't seem to though, they mostly seem to just 'end'. Starting to see the travel companies get a bit more aggressive on this thing but can't say I've seen/heard many motorist scammers get their comeuppance as the Censored deserve

If you plan to show your dash cam footage in court, check out the facilities available.
I had footage from a car parking claim and in the end had to show stills as there was no facility to show the video footage .
