Lying on your accident report.

[Drawweight]

I've only dealt with insurance companies twice, both resulting in 100% in my favour. Due in no part to both third parties making easily provable lies on their statements.

For instance in my last accident an old lady pulled out of a side road in front of my motorbike then to compound it U turned to go back the same way. One broken collar bone and 2 years later it was settled. My statement told what happened, as did the independent witness who was coming towards me.

Her statement however put the accident 50 yards along the minor road where she had pulled up outside a coffee shop and I somehow ran into the back of her car.

Now this is quite easily proved a total lie by my independent witness and the police who attended and found me sitting on the grass verge with my bike beside me complete with marks on the road etc.

My question is how do people get away with this? Is it a police matter or could the insurance companies try to discourage blatant lying. Everyone seems to do it, you only have to read SP & L to find examples. Probably because there is no comeback even if you are caught.
