im new here and found your forum after using google i have a question relateing to a car accident after getting hit by a moped as the insurance company feels that the force could not have caused any damage hopefully someone here can help as it seems a very good forum.
my wife was driving her car along a main road traveling at 30mph when a lorry traveling in the other direction swerved across the road to avoid a bicycle as she is still a learner driver she panicked swerved away from the oncoming lorry and done an emergency stop at this point we felt a shunt forward and backward which was a moped which had hit us as she stopped then the front wheel hit the kerb making the backward forward motion.
on speaking with the person after and accessing damage to both vehciles we exchanged details and left it to insurance companies to deal with however now they are saying it is a fraudulent claim and want to take me and my wife to court as i was the supervised driver what i would like to know is the following
the moped weighs between 100-150 kgs the rider approx 70 kg i want to calculate when we was stationary what force would have been generated between the speeds of 20-30 mph as this has caused some damage to rear boot flooring pushing it up about half a centermetre and causing lower back problems however they seem to feel that it would not cause any of the following problems i am genuine and am not faking or misleading the other insurers in anyway and would like to know if someone can resolve my much needed question many thanks in advance and a great forum
