Bump - experience of this scenario?

[andys]

Chaps.

My missus had a fella hit the front of her car the other day whilst she was queuing / stop / starting in traffic to join motorway. Basically one of those people who didn't want to queue and went for a small gap in front our car but got it wrong. Missus hit the brakes when she saw him try to nip in from the faster moving outer lane - but he hit the front of our car with the rear quarter of his as he was trying to get into a small gap - as per diagram.



Anyone had any experience of this kind of bump?

I spoke to the other chap - the whole thing is with the insurance companies now - he blames my missus for not stopping in time! She was just in her own lane and this chap chanced a gap and got it wrong / cut it too tight and caught our car.

Insurance company say it could be a 'split claim' as no witnesses - his word etc. Missus took good photos at the scene that show what happened.

If anyone has any experience of this kind of scenario - i'd be interested to hear

Cheers.
