I apologise for delay in responding to you. After our last discussion I emailed the third party claims handlers to propose the ‘bare own losses’ settlement where neither party makes any claim as I had discussed with you.
I received a very confusing response from them last week in that they accuse our actions of being paramount to blackmail, that we have instructed solicitors who convinced you to claim an injury and that they are instructing us to force our clients down the route of litigation to force claims costs up.
I have responded to them to stress that this is not correct at all and that you have never claimed to be injured, nor have carpenters persuaded you you are injured as they’ve stated. I’ve also pointed out that we have only tried to settle the claim amicably and have proposed both a 50/50 settlement and then the bear own losses settlement in genuine attempts to settle the claim without the need for litigation. I do not understand what their cause for complaint is here and I have made this clear to them.
I am still hoping that they will agree to the bear own losses settlement. They have come back to me to ask you to confirm exactly what you were pursuing through carpenters (on the basis the claim would be settled 50/50). Am I right in thinking that it was just the amount you have paid for repairs and the loss of earnings? Please could you confirm the amount that you were looking to claim for each for me.
ive not made any claim for injury, my claim was a tad higher than the trucks claim against me
