Coming out of work today, some old woman in a 54 plate rover 25, pull out infront of me, i served to avoid her, then had to cut back in because of a car coming in the other direction, and she clipped my rear quarter, i left a nice rubber mark on her bumper, where as she has nicely gouged my arch. She now isnt accepting responsability, saying, "its my word against hers" and "you wernt there when i looked" and contradicting herself "you came up there quite fast" so she either didnt see me, or just pulled out infront of me.
Argh!!!! |

Your not having much luck at the moment mate.
Stick to your story. Did she give any insurance details? |

well thats fairly cut and dry tbh, theres no way you could cause that damage unless you were travelling down the road sideways.
(i assume you werent on this occasion) 
you were on the main road, she was on the side road, she drove into the side of you. end of. |

To damage that side of her car you must've swerved back in before you got to her! |

If I was you I'd also blame the damage to your sideskirt on her - see if you can get it all repaired on the insurance? 
Rule number 1 - whitnesses - should have flaged down the guy behind you/her etc first of all. People always deny liablity (in fact, insurance companies encourage it!).
At this rate you'll be selling that Clio for scrap, I won't repeat my bit about first cars  |
