I dont know if i have this posted in the right place, if not please move -
Friday evening last collected my 2 boys and driving home, just went round a bend and an artic on myside of the road, somehow, I mounted the embankment and next thing i know the side of car there is a tearing noise, truck scraping along the car.... my car was stopped at this stage.. , stood on the horn of my car, managed to get the door open and roared after the truck... he stopped and came back to me... the kids are screaming, I rang the garda - they said he was totally wrong on myside of the road.. tyre marks were visible etc...
The ownes of the truck company met me as they wanted to see the extent of the damage to my car, he said he would pay cash rather than insurance... my garage man said he would ring him on Sat with price - in the meantime, owner of truck contacted me on sat to know where exactly the accident happened - told hm and he had a look and rang me back saying he couldnt see anything and that "it wouldnt have been that bad" - i told him deal with garda as they had my statement.
My garage has now tried to contact him and he is not answering the calls. So I am now going through the insurance and he can sod off....
What i am really asking is should i go to a solicitor to have this documented incase he tries to run rings around me....
I have an appt with GP as driving at the moment I am a bit nervous, so hopefully she will give me something just to calm the nerves.
What is the best thing to do -
