Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Lying about insurance claim
A car backed up into the front of my car in a parking lot. The driver tried to pay me off on the spot for the damages, but we didn't accept. We filed a claim with their insurance, and they agreed to pay $2000 for damages. Then, a month after the accident the driver lied and said we rear-ended him. His insurance company now says we are liable. What are my legal rights and what course of action should I take?
I must fight this to the end based on principle.

Re: Lying about insurance claim

Unfortunetly you only have one option. If the person is lying you will have to prove that in Court. Either small claims or limited civil.

Re: Lying about insurance claim

If you have not reported this claim to your insurance company you should do so immediately. Your insurance company will defend against his claim.
