Axela72 5th Gear February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 (edited) Greeting, Today I am shock that I recieved a lawyer letter stating his client a passager in a Taxi which my car have accidently kissed his rear side bumber during CNY want to made a claim to me. All while, I am worried about would the taxi driver falsify a claim against me. The incident happened during after traffic turn green when we are supposed to take off. However, as there are traffic jam across the other side, those car infront of mine are unable to move off until the light turn orange. I started to accel from stationary to catch the light, but to my surprise, the taxi infront of me decided to stop for red light. Because of this, my front bumper kissed his rear bumper. As my accelation is from stationary, the impact is minor. So no dent/ any damage shown from the taxi and, the Taxi driver decide to drop the case. During that incident, the busybody aunty passager in that Taxi also come out from the car to see see look look. Now then I realized that the evil person that want to claim against me is that aunty. Her claim to me is about 9k in total (general damage, loss of income, transportation, medical expense police/LTA fee etc). Is there any way to appeal and what is the success rate like? Kindly advise, Thanks Edited February 17, 2014 by Axela72 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindly advise, Thanks You kissed other vehicle, in the wrong, ppl claim injury. You go speak with your insurance company and let them handle. That's what insurance is for. Alternatively, you can try counter sue with your lawyers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 5 yrd old kid dont even know that there is a bang as it is very light I believed the aunty is try to take this opportinuty to made money. If she is really injuried, I am willing to pay for all the expenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackyv Turbocharged February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 Wah! Auntie very hiong.... Taxi uncle also not so badass.... Btw, she was a passenger, what general damage is she claiming for?... Did you read properly, is the claim from taxi plus auntie or just auntie alone?... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axela72 5th Gear February 17, 2014 Author Share February 17, 2014 any video recording from you? Yes, I have video taken. The video ago capture that aunty coming out from the taxi to see the damage. I have even show her there is no dmg on the bumper and after than she just walk off. Never know that she is a threat until today. Wah! Auntie very hiong.... Taxi uncle also not so badass.... Btw, she was a passenger, what general damage is she claiming for?... Did you read properly, is the claim from taxi plus auntie or just auntie alone?... Just the aunty alone. It is written as: General claim = 8k Medical expense = 24 Medical report fee = 300 Loss of income = 100 X 4 days = 400 Transportation = 40 Police /LTA fee = 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she is really injuried, I am willing to pay for all the expenses. Yes the aunty could be taking advantage of the situation. That's why there is insurance and lawyers, insurance when making payout also not stupid. They will check the extent of damage and counter. You think they will pay full 9k? No way la... But nevertheless it will be a claim on your insurance and will be reflected as accident, NCD affected, premiums up slightly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axela72 5th Gear February 17, 2014 Author Share February 17, 2014 my doubt is if there is not even a slight damage on the car, how can the passager inside the car be injured? So for example if I slap someone, he can send a laywer letter to claim for all the expense even there is no injuried and I am abide to pay? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this might sound absurd, but do you have the taxi driver contact can get him to be your witness? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
