I think someone is trying to commit fraud against me....help?

I was at a roundabout in my car about a week ago. The car in front suddenly stopped, i have no idea why. i hit the car in front very slightly, not enough to cause a dent or anything like that. However, the women had a dent in her audi....she blamed it on me saying that me hitting the car caused it. I measured my bumper and compared it to the size of the dent, my bumper was too big to cause the size of that dent. But she still went on and was asking the insurers to pay for the damage. The insurance pay out around 拢900 in total.

My question is, do you think this is fraud, because believe me, there was aboslutley no way i could have cmade that dent and the women just stopped in front of me for no reason?!

Anyway, any help is appreciated,

Thanks.

it sounds to me like she is a scammer hun, i would contact your insurance and see if there is any advice they can give you , buy unfortunately you may have been driving a little too close to her so the blame falls to you, sad i know but thats what happens. good luck getting it sorted

You have my sympathies, but it will be very hard for you to prove , as every driver knows if you hit someone up the back end it is deemed their fault as they say you should not be travelling so near that you have not time to stop, ( say a child ran out and the person in front has to slam the bakes on, ) this is what I am saying you need to have a safe breaking distance between you and the person in front.. so sorry but not everyone is honest as you have just found out..

yea sounds like fraud to me. She was paying attention to you and need some money. Call and talk with your insurance company. They might not want to deal with it but at least you have it on record that you think she did it on purpose.
Stupid people like that make the prices go up.

possibly - ive heard load of things like this, like people stopping suddenly so one car hits another...and all because they want the money. i would go to the citizens advice or maybe even the police if your that worried about it as she may have done it before. Jo

contact local law enforcement and also the attorney general for your state. they will investigate for you, and follow up with possible fraud charges. good luck dear. i suggest you do this today, do not wait.

Could be but typically your insurance company would investigate this , however because its not Thousands they may just pay up , I think perhaps you could tell your insurance company to fight it....

it has gotta be her trying to claim for something that was already there mate, fight it you got proof with ya car after all

Tell your insurance company your suspicions and then let them sort it out.

Tell the insurance company

Report your suspicions to your insurance company and let them sort it out

Whatever the real situation is here, the law is on her side, if you go into the back of someone, it is perceived as your fault, she may well have suddenly stopped without cause or reason at a roundabout, it may well have been impossible to anticipate this, but the law states that if you had been driving correctly/responsibly/with due care and attention, you would not have shunted her, however gently from behind. Whether you actually made the dent on her bumper or not, or even if you think she set this up so she could get her bumper fixed after someone else did this, the law is on her side and it is unlikely to be a case of fraud.
