okay i'm not sure if this is the correct place to post so please point me in the right direction if it isn't. (someone is threatening to say they were injured when they really weren't)
on 2-23-08 i was going through an intersection after the light turned green. halfway through i see a car swerving towards me out of the corner of my eye. i look at it and as soon as i look forward again i notice the suv ahead of me has it's brakes applied. so i slam on the breaks, but i still rear end the suv. we pull into a restaurant down the street to exchange information and check the damage. two women get out of the car. i tell them that i couldn't brake in time because of the car i saw out of the corner of my eye. they said that a car ahead of them didn't use its blinker to make a turn rt after the intersection. they saw that i was closing in on them so they applied their brakes.
i asked for their information and the driver said that she didn't have a license. i said i don't care, just give me somebody's name. so the passenger gave me her name and number. my intensions at the time were to submit to insurance, but later on decided that it would be better if i just paid for repairs out of my pocket. my front end was messed up but the women said don't worry about the damage to their vehicle. i gave them my name, number, and address and went on my way.
later on that week i had my car repaired for $1300. i no longer have the name or number that one of the women gave me on that night because as far as i was concerned this situation was finished. they said they didn't want me to pay for the damage.
on 3-12-08 i get a call from one of the women asking for money to repair their suv. in the voicemail she states that she is 8.5 months pregnant and has gotten some quotes on the damage and that she wants me to pay the small amount.
i had my mom give her a call because she's better at handling this stuff. my mom finally gets a hold of her and the stuff she says makes her very suspicious. she said that she went to the dealer and they wanted $650 for repairs, but she says that a guy on craigslist would do it for $200. she tells my mom that she was the driver and that she has no license (this contradicts what she told me at the scene) she only drives to go to and from work. then she says if we don't pay she could sue for injuries. my mom asks her if anyone was hurt and she said no. then she brings up that she's been in and out of the hospital since then because of the pregnancy. when my mom told her what i told her about why i rear-ended them, the lady says that i told her that i just wasn't paying attention. which i absolutely know i didn't say because in drivers ed i was taught never to say sorry or stuff like that because that is admitting fault.
so i hope all this makes sense. so my question is, can she legally do anything? it would seem like since she doesn't have a license that no1 would favor her side.
thanks for your time
