Trying to cut a long story short.
In September 2010 a woman made a claim for personal injuries against myself. I knew from the the begining she was trying it on. The letter I recieved from her solicitors was vicious to say the least and did cause some anxiety and distress as I knew the claim was utter nonsense and the slight injury sustained was completely down to her own negligence but how could I prove it. I gave a statement to my insurers. Three months down the line after fighting tooth and nail against my local council I managed to obtain CCTV footage of the incident. Eveything I had said in my original statement was now there to be seen on the footage.
Still the tactics by her solicitors did not stop, they even at one point tried to claim they could not view the footage. I did instruct my insurers I was willing to take my lap top and disc to their offices so they could view the footage, funny I was never invited to do so.
In June of 2012 my insurers said as far as they were concerned it looked as though the claim against me had probably been dropped. They had not heard anything from her solicitors since they claimed around early 2011 that they could not view the footage. I know legally they have 3 years to take me to court.
I'm still in limbo and I find it disgusting that this still hangs over me until the end of September. If they have dropped it why no acknowledgement? After their opening letter which was vicious to say the least but probably a normal scare tactic, you would think they would have a moral duty to confirm this so that I know the ordeal is over. Basically what I want to know is, if I hear nothing from her legal team when the three year period is up can I take action against them for the stress and anxiety they have caused me or against the woman herself. What I said at the begining was her claim was nonesense and the CCTV footage which they have had access to since January 2011 proved that my original statement in September 2010 was correct.
