Morning everyone!
I had a RTA in October 2014 - i was pulling into a corner and the lady on the otherside of the road took the corner too wide and crashed into me, pushing me onto the verge. At the scene she admitted liability as she had been bitten on the leg by a bug (!) and we exchanged details. I also took the details of an independent witness.
I required 9 months of physio, had to pay my excess, also had 2 weeks off of work, had to replace car seat etc.
I processed the repairs etc through my insurance company who obviously then got in touch with her insurers, which at that point they denied liability. It has been going on now for over a year so my solicitor has taken the other party to court. With an independent witness and the engineers report stating that this was non fault due to the areas of damage on both vehicles.
Anyway, the court case has been sent and her insurance company have acknowledged the claim. I got the following email yesterday from my solicitor -
We have not yet received a Defence from the other side's representative. When have therefore, requested the Court enter judgement in your favour. I will further update you in due course.

Does anyone know what the next steps are and the chances of the court ruling in my favor? The other party are over 20 days late in submitting a defence.
Many Thanks
