Expert's Assistant chat
Customer: Hey mate some lady crashed into the rear of my car and neither of us are insured, she's claiming im at fault and she's been to the police. No one was hurt and she hit my car. Am I at any fault or she just trying to scare me? Cheers guys
JA: I just need to ask a few clarifying questions so that the Lawyer doesn't miss anything. To start, what state are you in? It matters because laws vary by location.
Customer: Yeah no worries
JA: How long have you been dealing with this issue? Where do things currently stand?
Customer: 2 days
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: Nope I thought it was pretty straight forward but this lady won't stop hassling me

John Melis, Expert

Hello, I’m John Melis, a solicitor in Australia, and I’ll be helping you with your question today.

You can sue for compensation.

​You may lodge a claim in court.

The court’s website has a forms section to download the documents to commence the claim against that other party.

There are practice notes on the court’s website. There are various resources also, which you could utilise to aid you in completing the claim form.

Once you have submitted the claim form to the court, you must serve the other party with the documents.

You will receive email communications from the court, and you need to review these communications carefully, as they give you instructions on what to do next.

Does this help with your question today?

Some one crashed into my rear end as I turned out of a driveway, it wasn't hard she was uninsured same as me. She's saying the police will come by and I have to pay for gp and car repair
Customer
But she is uninsured and she hit my rear so that's not my problem is it?

You can run your matter in the court for compensation.
Customer
I don't need compensation I fixed my car already, I just need to know am I at all liable? Because she hit my rear and she was uninsured??
Customer
I don't think I am but this lady won't stop calling and saying she's been the police. But the police have nothing to do with insurance so I'm confused.

As this lady is harassing you, you can put a restraining order in place to stop this continued barrage of intimidation.
Customer
Yeah that's not an issue I can sort that out, just a simple yes or no if I'm liable would be a big help thanks
