Help!! False Witness? not at scene

Options
Hello,


So i recently got in a car accident. A car tried to cut 2 lanes in order to avoid traffic being caused by an over turned vehicle ahead of him.
based of my damages and report i was not found at fault/ my insurance was not accepting Liability.


I called his insurance today and i find out, that now there is a random witness(tow truck driver).who puts me at fault

at the time of the accident on the freeway i originally got of looked around and made sure no one else had hit our cars.. AKA scoped the scene don't think i saw any tow trucks.


After this we pulled of to the nearest exit to a small pizza hut parking lot...

we exchanged information and waited for one of his friends to come for about 40 minutes... again no witnesses showed up/ tow trucks where at the scene..

and we left on our ways.

now... how do i prove there was no witnesses or what is my insurance going to do about this now?
i never saw this "witness" for the 40 minutes we where there?

other than his riend who showed up towards the end?

what do i do?

i have liability only.


-cheers:beer:

    You talk about a freeway and a parking lot, I'm betting your in America ?

    This is a UK forum, not that you cant post here but things might be different in USA.

    Liability only? Are you in the USA? This is a UK forum...
