I was driving along a duel carriagway at 60-70 mph a few weeks ago in the outside lane, passing slower moving traffic in the inside lane, minding my own business (fotunately in my old Seat Cordoba Estate I'd picked up off eBay for £700 and not my new W212).
Without warning an old battered white E220 swerved from the inside lane and hit my near side sqaure on, pushing me into the central reservation and denting my wing/doors etc.
I was so please to survive, and realise that I hadn't damaged my new Merc that I was prepared to 'walk away' from trying to claim on insurance, and the damage was very minor to my old hack that was already well dented.
Like a bolt from the blue, I've now received a claim from one of those 'no win no fee' cowboys for severe wiplash and stress injuries to a passanger that was in the back of the old white Merc! Claiming that I had swerved into them!
Without CCTV, any advice on how I should deal with this?
