I bet that's a clever ploy by the van driver to pass the blame to the car driver ""who turned out in front and he did not have time to stop""I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Be aware that what he tells you, and what he tells his employer or insurance company, may be two completely different things.
In the worst case, he tells his insurer that you caused the accident by driving behind him as he was reversing into the space. Your insurer will have no idea what happened, because you haven't told them, so won't have any way to counter that claim.If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.0 -
I wish I had a pound for every post like this which ends in tears.
For future reference, I would suggest:
Take photos before moving your car
Get an independent witness
Buy a dash cam
Let your insurance deal with the claim"A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
