I witnessed an accident on a country road two years ago and gave a witness statement to the police at the scene, as did one other driver. I believe that our accounts may have differed. I have recently been contacted by solicitors of both parties. One has asked if I will answer some questions over the phone and the other has sent me forms to complete on the basis of which they will prepare a statement for me to check and sign. One party is making "a claim for damages". Past experience with the legal profession suggests extreme caution in this situation. I question whether solicitors should be allowed to make such requests, particularly after such a time gap. I would be interested in your opinion.
