Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York
About a year ago, my son was involved in a fender bender while driving a company vehicle. Traffic was stopped at a light, he was reducing his speed to stop when a bee flew in his window - he went to swat it - and ended up hitting the car in front of him. He was going about 10 mph at the time. The woman in the second car, made quite a scene - and requested an ambulance take her to the hospital. The EMT actually told my son, this was not necessary - but, since she requested, they needed to comply. Luckily, my son took pictures of her car - which had very minimal damage and thankfully, a year later, he still has them on his phone. He gave her the insurance information at the time - and has not heard a word, until today he - and his employer (company vehicle) were served with papers for a lawsuit. When you know something is bogus, how do you prove that? He has the pictures, but, is that enough? I'm sure she is looking for a settlement, but, it's just so wrong.

Better to let the employer's insurance carrier handle things, and not take it personally. Their attorneys will defend vigorously, you can be sure, and may get the case dismissed. If a settlement is eventually reached, it is likely in everyone's best interests. VTY, M. E. Zuller
