Hi All, hoping the Foccer font of knowledge can help. about 3 years ago our car was hit from behind while stationery at lights. We claimed on our insurance for the damage (just cosmetic) and then later on found out the chap who hit us is denying he hit us. We don't have dash cam, sadly. Only proof we have is photos and ones that show 3 distinct marks on our bumper that match in size to the large Mercedes badge on the front of his car. The photos also have a ruler in the pic showing the distance between the marks.
3 years on, it's going to court. I'm suspecting that unless he bottles it and admits liability that it will go 50/50? Don't know how these things work.
My main question is, do we need a solicitor? Have others been in this boat? It's the insurance company that are claiming the money back, so it's not our case as such. We've filled in forms saying what happened and are now awaiting a court date.
Any help gratefully received :-)
