Older lady fell down behined car

[E92M3STEVE]

About 5 weeks ago, my wife was reversing out of a car parking space at the local supermarket and initially thought she had knocked over an older lady. The PDC didn't kick in and she was checking the reversing camera as the space next door had a van parked so the view was obscured.

The lady was fine just a little shaken, a number of people were around and helped her get back on her feet, made sure she was fine, loaded up her car and sent her on her way.

My wife was adamant she didn't hit her, or the trolley, the car was a disgrace (not washed for a few weeks), there were no marks scuffs or anything on the back that would suggest otherwise

She told my wife she had fallen days earlier and was very unsteady on her feet and fell over as she saw the car coming
She told my wife that she saw her brake lights go off (reversing lights were on) and was safe to go
She explained that she didn't get hit but my wife may have hit her trolley and knocking her down
We have the details of a witness who saw it and has said she fell over and was pretty sure she was not hit

We heard nothing for 5 weeks then we had a call today from her husband asking for our car and insurance details as she is still in pain and her friends from bingo have told her to make a claim!!!

We have legal cover on the insurance etc but I don't want to give them the details unless I really have to. She is adamant that she didn't hit her of the trolley etc.

Shall I just let the insurance deal with it?

They only have your phone number?

If they haven't got your contact details, reg plate or anything else, then I wouldn't bother replying as your wife's car was not involved in any incident.

Yep, just my wife's mobile number, no other details were shared.

Just to update, we have let our insurance company know and will be as clear cut as we can. Lets see what happenings! Thanks for the advice.

Gotta love those friends!

Reminds me of Better Call Saul ....

I haven't watched those but I pictured the OP's wife breaking the phone and dropping it in the bin as Saul used to do in every episode of Breaking Bad.

She should have used the burner phone :-)
