I be contained by a 3 motor crash on rime. Lady within front is claiming injuries but her vehicle be intact and a short time ago slid forward?

About 2 weeks ago I was in a three motor pile up on a road that was covered in rime. The car behind suffered fairly substantial damage to the front and bounced/slid backwards about 2.5m and at an angle. My sports car suffered moderate damage to the front and minor damage to the hindmost. The car in front of me suffered drastically little damage to the back and slid forwards going on for 5m.

The woman in the car surrounded by front is claiming soft tissue injuries to her right arm, back and shoulders. It is my understanding that given that the coup¨¦ was on ice almost adjectives of the energy would have gone surrounded by to pushing the car forwards and very little transferred to the driver. Is this the luggage? Or is it possible that the sudden jolt of being pushed forwards cause the damage?

If anyone has them after I would like references to how this nouns of physics applies to car crashes/the law etc.

Thanks,

Joe
Answers:
After reading the request for information, it sounds like you don't want to be responsible for "tapping" her rear close. As you may know, you ARE liable if you are the "tapper"
Regardless of the circumstance.(except in very few and far between cases)

Are you trying to scientifically disprove her claim?
It's the initial jolt and resulting force on the driver/passenger. The car jump ahead and some force has to accelerate her. The certainty that her car was on rime doesn't reduce the force she experienced. If anything it could increase it slightly. The quicker the car jump ahead the more force. Consider how her car would respond if bolted to the pavement (opposite of being on ice). There would be minor (flex-only) motion of the saloon, very little relative motion between her and the car.
Everyone seem to be ignoring the details of your question.

If surrounded by fact the car within front was on ice, you would expect that any tiny caprice would have propelled the car disproportionally far.

Since the coup¨¦ only moved forwards an unobstructed 5 meters (I am assuming it did glided and came to a stop - not hit some hurdle and stopped.) It does sound like within was not much force transferred in the collision, and that so the acceleration, while it may enjoy been sudden, was reasonably modest.

The problem with doing actual calculations is that, even individual able to approximate the maximum speed of the 3rd car, you would call for to know the time during which the car was accelerate, And THAT would depend on the elastic properties of the parts in contact.

If both cars have been solid steel blocks, there would own been quite a short extent of acceleration and so a real shock, although in this shield,, even that would have been largely engaged into the upholstery of the car. Bu, in addendum there was probably at tiniest one shock absorbing bumper involved - maybe two.

If you contact the manufacturers of the two cars involved contained by this last interaction, they should be able to hand over you some real information about what sort of 'shock' the character received.

Car companies do real and extensive testing to minimize these values, and do hold information that they should make available to you. Even if the bumpers were not involved, they would still hold information on the way energy is spellbound by other body parts.

Of course, the human body can be very sensitive to unexpected shocks - even small ones, and so it is difficult to say-so with 100% certainty that this woman is simply trying to get hold of money, but, well, this sort of opportunistic way of acting is, I regret to hold to say, nothing tentative.
It's up to your and the other insurance company to worry about that. You shouldn't dwell on this woman, as she will hold to submit proof from a doctor/ER to the insurance companies involved. Without that proof, she can't get money from your insurance company. And, also without that proof, she can't sue you.

Hope adjectives ends well for you! Source(s): Sometimes you just run into a crazy creature (pun wasn't intended). I wouldn't waste my time on her, since there are more essential things to do. Like clip your toenails. Hopefully this person will disappear soon.
