hi, i wondered if anyone has any help/advice they can give me!
I had a car accident last year, a driver was indicating to turn - but didnt actually make the maneuver, i pulled out and went into him, i know i am stupid for trusting an indicator, and still dont know why i did - im soo mad at myself. So anyway, i had a witness that saw everything (even his indicator on). Until i got a letter from my solicetor saying that the witness didnt want to be involved anymore (why come forward as a witness and then not want to be involved baffles me). so my solicitor has advised me to settle the case on a "without prejudice basis". she told me that "the claimant will receive damages in full but we will specifically state that liability is not admitted. The matter will then be settled" (which isnt much help)
So that is the end of it?
so who takes the liability?
and can they refuse to settle until i take full blame?
any help/advice i would be gratefull for. (sorry for bad spelling/punctuation) xxx
