QuestionI recieved a phone call from my landlord who told me that two of his employees saw me hit my neighbors car and then drive off. This never happened.
On the day in question, the two employees that allegedly saw me hit a car were plowing our apartment parking lot. I think, I don't know for sure, but I think they hit her car on accident and because I was out there that day, they are trying to pawn this off on me. I keep getting phone calls and letters from Geico claiming that I owe money to fix her car. What do I do? There is no police report nor mention of my vehicle in the letter they sent me. Do I need a lawyer?
AnswerHi Sophia,
It all goes back to proof. Is there paint transfer from your car to the other car? Is there any type of damage that can prove you did this?
Unfortunately, you are in a situation. Contact a lawyer and ask what type of case they have to implicate you.
Two eye witnesses may sound compelling, but if they work together plowing snow, it may be in their best interest if they damaged the car to implicate you.
If the lawyer says to tell them to pound sand, take the lawyer's advice.
You may even ask the lawyer if you have any recourse againsty the eye witnesses.
Good luck,
Rob
