Door hit by passing car. Dispute over who was responsible

by Conrad Murray — last modified 2007-02-20 08:57

My husband was getting something from our car (back door drivers side) and he had the door rested on his back another car hit our door as he was blinded by the oncoming traffic and couldn't see. He is now saying that we opened the door onto him as he was passing, my insurance are saying that it will probably be dealt with 50/50 but i disagree as we were stationery and if he couldn't see to pass safely he should of given way to the oncoming traffic. Do you think I am right?

Whilst a 50/50 settlement may ultimately be the correct settlement on this claim, it should be considered properly after the studying the facts.

You probably have legal expenses insurance sold with your policy so insist that your legal representatives do the job properly.
