Surely photos of damage to your car would suggest whether or not whiplash was a likely result? |

If he hit you while trying to park how can he claim whiplash? Silly man. |

Is that what happened, did he hit you while trying to park or did you hit him? It sounds as if he is trying it on. eventually we will all fit cameras to our cars for this very purpose. I hope your insurers fight it. |

I wouldn't worry too much Polly. Insurance companies are becoming much stricter on wanting medical evidence of whiplash as there are so many false claims. |

my son and dil were in a queue on the motorway a while back when the woman in front reversed her car into them and then accused them of damaging her parking sensors - they hadn't moved - she took their details and kept ringing them - in the end my son said "I know where you live and if you bother us again I'll come and burn your house down" - they never heard from her again!!! :-D |

In last years Autumn Statement George Osborne announced that cash payments for minor whiplash claims will be banned under new plans to put an end to the dodgy claims industry that costs insurers – and the innocent drivers who pay their premiums – around £1bn per year. |

Thank you all so much for your comments. Reading them has made me feel much better. I am still waiting to hear from my insurers, even though they reassured me it's still rather worrying. |

Was he parking his car in a public car park? If he was there will probably be CCTV evidence of you driving sideways into him! |

But did he? |

He was certainly full of his own importance. |

Yes he is trying it on, maybe even a deliberate act. |

If you have a minor non-accident collision with another the norm is to exchange details with the other driver. Whether you are at fault or not the insurance companies will then apply their kock 4 knco system and you will enjoy shelling out from your excess - £ 200-400 for most. Grrr. On top the other party can invent all kinds of stuff. |
