I would NEVER contact the other insurance company or respond to their calls
other than to refer them to your insurance company. Just think of the
ammunition they could glean for their lawyers. Contact your insurance
company and be sure you get a copy of the police report ASAP to give to
them. Be prepared for a long fight. I had a kid zoom out of a parking lot
without stopping while he was on his cell phone and he hit me broadside. I
was traveling down the street. It dragged on for THREE years. Some lawyers
have nothing to do but take garbage cases and make your life miserable.

Subject: Re:Scam??
I was involved in a situation this last weekend where I "tapped" the back
end of a GMC Jimmy with my '96 Honda Accord causing no damage to either
vehicle, which the Police officer noted in his report. Yet, the occupants of
the Jimmy required on scene medical attention and an ambulance ride to the
hospital. The officer noted in conversation with me that he saw no damage
that would substantiate the occupants claims of injury. Has this happened to
anyone else and what was the outcome? I have already notified my insurance
company of the potential scam. Should I talk with their insurance company if
they call? I know the world is not always a nice place, but these people
also end of paying in the form of higher insurance rates. Thanks.
