Blame/claim Chaser Chasing Me For A Non-Fault 'accident'
A 'friend' had to quickly move into the right hand lane on the motorway because a car had cut in front of them at speed - and then sped off. So the car that was coming up in that lane had to swerve and his car and 'my friend's' work van got a bit scuffed, no injuries or anything major. They exchanged details and 'my friend' called his work's insurance people and told them what happened. Now, the guy in the car that admitted he was doing about 80mph at the time is using a blame claim lawyer citing loss of earnings and wants 'my friend' to complete insurance details within 21 days or .....? 'My friend' no longer works for the company that he was driving the van for as it was a temporary contract. Does 'my friend' have to respond to this blame claim lawyer at all or maybe just reply telling him to get in contact with the employer he was with? This happened in Scotland. Thank You.

I'm not sure that the 'admission' of 80mph if made at the time would mean much if it was now denied and if there was some other fully or partly to bllame- i.e. your friend.
The description of the accident sounds a little unclear to me- why swerve into a busy faster lane ?

The other driver said to friend - you were going at some speed! But he was doing just over the limit and this other guy was going faster than him! There was no where else to move, other than squeeze into the lane that didn't have any vehicle in it at the time. Still not sure what to do, will there be any fine/penalty if my friend doesn't respond to this blame claim letter (seen as how he is no longer employed by the van owners any more)?
Its more the fact that this other guy is now claiming loss of earnings and my friend doesn't work with the company anymore - albeit that he reported the accident to them and the insurers at the time. My question is does my friend have to respond to the claim letter looking for more information about the insurers name etc?
