    Not necessarily. In this country, if 2 drivers/riders collide, and both have 3rd Party cover with the same insurer, then one of the 2 MUST admit liability. The insurer will not help and will make no moves to pay out etc until and unless this admittance is made. Even a traffic infringement from the police to the responsible party isn't enough.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    That's ridiculous.

    Here they call that an "endogamic crash". In that case your insurance's lawyer has conflicting interests, so you can hire whatever lawyer you want and pass the bill to your insurance company. Then you pit your lawyer against the other driver's and hope for the best. Anyhow, it's not going to cost you nothing except time.

    We didn't quite get to the lawyer stage...have a read. It is enlightening and amusing.
