Had a accident going back a couple of weeks ago. I was driving past a lay-by when the 3rd party opened his rear right hand door into my car, took of my left hand wing mirror and dented my car. The insurance company have decided I am liable.
I am through Post Office insurance as 3rd party fire and theft, my under-writers are axa insurance, the 3rd party is also axa insurance and he has a jeep with less damage than me. My solicitors are also the 3rd parties solicitors, but since receiving a letter from them on the 20th October on behalf of the 3rd party, they are not answering my calls.
I want to be able to arm myself tomorrow when I phone my insurance company, because this was not my fault, his car door was not opened when I was passing. This happened in a carpark with very busy roads. I have asked for CCTV but the camera was not on us at that time, so it is my word against his, also I apparently admitted fault at the scene, which I did not at all.
I want to know what the UK law states exactly on opening car doors into a road (I don't know if northern ireland is different from the mainland). Im Iin-titledd to a copy of the investigators report? Also is it wrong to have to parties claiming against each other in the same solicitors company and where do I stand on them not taking my phone calls?
