Heard from my insurance company today.
Thus:
Their allegations are that we have attempted to undertake a cyclist turning right into Wood Street and in doing so have collided with their clients bicycle.
Having reviewed the footage you sent us it shows that this is not the case and that you have proceeded straight ahead after the cyclist had turned right and if anythng you have then moved further right rather than left and into their clients bicycle.
I have forwarded the footage and your statement and diagram to the third party solicitors holding their client liable for the incident.
I was quite pleased to read their response, any sympathy I had for the cyclist has evaporated since their opportunist claim !
Other side now have to change their story, 'cos that version won't run, video proves them 100% wrong, and I dont know how changing stories affects claims, but it cant strengthen it.......
I doubt they will withdraw their claim, their claim isnt about fair recompense for an unwarranted injury, its about solicitors being given something to get their claws into, so they wont just walk away - I now expect them to modify their story in some way, although whether their witness will support this will be interesting, I know he was def sympathetic to the cyclist, but that isnt the same as lying.
Pete.
