false car insurance claim made against me

read the post that you are replying to again, and perhaps reply without changing the words used
Let me give you an example, I'm behind a car the rear bumper of that car is damaged, the driver of that car suddenly brakes and I'm too close to stop without collision, now the owner of that car can claim for a new bumper, I asked him why he suddenly braked and he said an animal ran out in front of him (there was no animal to be seen on my dash cam) , so.... am I being scammed or does the 3rd party have a claim?
Your example is interesting, I am not sure how to handle this either. However, the key difference here is in your example, both parties are involved in the incident for sure. The dispute is on who's responsibility it should be (is it a staged insurance fraud or genuine incident?) in this case, i believe dashcam footage for both parties or any witness would be very useful.
In my case, the alleged incident happened because one alleged party think it happens and he can point to possible multiple third party to blame. I don't think what your example here is a good analogy to the situation i had .0 -
Given what's posted in #129 then my espoused scenario doesn't apply - OP says there was no damage to the 3rd party when he parked.
However, if there was that amount of damage (as is being claimed) then there's no way this wouldn't be captured on the OP's dashcam video (if the OP actually was at fault)!0 -

£18k of damage is serious (as the stories seem to have holes in it, let me be forgiven for being sceptical) .0 -

Well the dashcam would have recorded me running into the rear of the vehicle, case closed .0 -
I'm not entirely sure what point you're trying to make, but - scam or not - you're at fault for driving too close.
Yes, the point in context of the other pillow fighting in the thread is that the OP is saying his car already has battle scars and maybe the other car did too, it doesn't negate further damage to the same panel.0 -

In your comments, it sounds like every things a possibility to consider no matter how small the probability is.0
