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
