Hi There
Both me and my neighbour were reversing from our driveways the other morning. On Reversing our cars collided, she claims she was not moving at the time of the impact and beeped the horn. (Me or my house mate did not hear the horn) The Gardai were called, Insurance details were exchanged, The Gardai said that if one member does not accept responsibility for the incident then it is up to the insurance company to decide. I gave the details to my insurance company (which subsequently is the same insurance company) She had said to me that it appears to be a 50 50 case. The rear of my car recieved the damage, and the rear driver side door received the damage to her vehicle. While I was taking the turn from the drive i looked around the front of the car, in this time she appeared to have reversed from her drive.
I accept the 50 50 scanerio as we were both at equal fault, but she won't she believes I am at fault, and wants to get an investigator.
I wish to fix my car myself without going through the insurance, what are your opinions, is it 50 50, am I at fault?
