Claiming for a personal injury.

I have just received information regarding a claim I am disputing. The claimant is saying that I collided with him and he sprained his ankle (I did not). The incident was about ten weeks ago and he has not taken any time off work, he has not sought any medical help and he has not attended hospital. Surely, he would need some medical evidence to back-up this so-called claim? Any advice would be most helpful, thank you.

    Is it an entirely fraudulent claim (i.e. the collision never occurred) or are you disputing that you are liable for the collision?

    The short answer is yes, he needs medical evidence to back up his claim. Him not attending hospital or seeing his GP will undermine his claim but not necessarily defeat it if he can explain why he did not seek any kind of medical assistance.
