Fraud Claim, Witness of an Accident claims he was a passenger
Hello. My 18 yo daughter was driving a car and stopped on the red light. The driver behind thought that she would pass on yellow and got angry with her, yelled at her, spit on the car and then hit her car from behind on purspose. People who saw this called the police. The driver of the other car fled. My daughter was left at the scene with theree witnesses to wait for police. Police came, filled out the police report, talked to the witnesses one by one and left. Our car damage was not bad, so we fixed it ourselves and just put whole thing behind. Now we have a call from our insurance company that there is a claim. I called and found out that apparently one of the witnesses that was at the scene claims he was a PASSENGER in our car and he was injured. We never picked the police report. Now I am going with my daughter to the precint to pick the police report, but not sure what to expect. Police Officers talked to the witnesses alone and maybe this guy did claimed that he was a passenger. What should be our action? Any advise is greatly appreciated.
