Greenfunk Neutral Newbie February 7, 2011 Share February 7, 2011 Last year, i had a minor bumper to bumper accident with a taxi. his company had claimed a substantial figure from my insurance already and i believe insurance did pay them. (car damages + taxi driver income loss + trauma ) just before CNY, I received a letter that the taxi driver is claiming medical/injuries. What's more he has gone to all sorts of specialists at camden/mount elizabeth. Is there anything I can do to not pay or at least reduce the figure he is demanding? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achtung 6th Gear February 7, 2011 Share February 7, 2011 This falls under your insurer again. They can hire a PI and verify his claim. More often than not, my friend who is in this line, usually debunk their claims.

Kangadrool Supersonic February 7, 2011 Share February 7, 2011 I thought for insurance payout, payout once accepted by claimant, it's considered FINAL and no more claims are admissible. (Need to sign the acceptance form also). So, how this guy managed to claim and claim again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
