Hi,
Maybe someone can advise.
A few weeks ago we were involved in a minor car accident. There was a pile up in front of us on a dual carraigeway, and the car suddenly, and we didn't stopped in time and banged the car in front, but were not involved in the car pile up in front.
No injuries to anyone not any visible damage to either car. We swapped details including insurance. The other driver insisted that the gardai come to take details ( they were on wait to other crash as those cars were undrivable), although we wanted to get our three kids off the carraige way, as it happened in the fast lane, whcih was now blocked.
Cops came, took details etc, as nobody injured and no visible damage, advised to swap info as we already done, and to get moving on the carraigeway. Both cars left.
We advised our insurance company, who came to look at our car, and take our story the next day.
Today, we got a solictors letter, that the other driver is putting a claim for injury and car damages in. We have passed this to our insurance company.
What happens now? Will the ins company just pay out without telling us, and the screw us over for next year premium?
