hi everyone
i was recently involved in an accident. i was driving along, 50 mph, i slipped on the road due to ice and hit the brakes. my car turned a little to the side , a car that was travelling behind me instead of braking behind me tried to go around me and hit me in the side , turned me upside down and into the ditch. now thank god no one was hurt but since then
1. the other person in question has made a statement to the guards
2. she says she has back and neck pain and is attending treatment
3. she is looking for car and personal injury compensation
4. the gaurds rang me last nite really trying to convince me to say i was wrong and accept liability , they are now charging me with careless driving and said i can just pay the fine and get 4 points etc
why should i do this, am i correct in saying that she should have been far enough behind me to brake and stop regardless of what was happening to my car. im really ****ed off now, the guard rang me at 10 pm and told me this, can you belive that like??
i just wanted to forget the whole thing, but now i want to get her back and sue her. do i have rights here or at the very least can i get her claim thrown out and this silly carless driving challenge from the guards. i have always heard that if a car goes into the back /side of you then its their fault. the guard said that she went out to go around me as thats the natural thing to do, i would have thought to hit the brakes is the natural thing to do myslef. any help or opinions would be great
