This happened to my family and they sued for $1,000,000 in almost exactly the SAME conditions as you explained. I don't think you have to worry about it too much as long as you talk to a lawyer because it doesn't really go to court or anything. It is dealt with by insurance companies, etc. and they ended up getting$100,000! Insane. It's going to cost you some more insurance coverage but not exactly what they claim because insurance is there.

Get a lawyer, don't fuck around with this.

Try to get legal fees back.

I'm sure your lawyer knows this, but you should try to get the case dismissed if at all possible.

I've heard of that story before, never seen any proof of it being true though. Else people would be ramming their heads through peoples windows and sueing them all the time :/

There are a bunch of bullshit stories that people try to pass off as true on a regular basis because they don't know any better and take things they think they heard five years ago as truth.

This is one example.

That story has been misinterpreted so much ;P.

If I recall correctly, McDonalds was actually at fault, their coffee was way too hot.

um wtf they can just sue you and force you to expend resources on a lawyer? if i were you i would try to do this as cheaply as possible, do they let you go to court w/o a lawyer in the states?

i would try going to the case without a lawyer and then if they win by some miracle then appeal and hire a lawyer...

heres another true one.

a lady was walking in a store and tripped over a little girl who was gliding on those rollerskate type shoes. the lady sued the department store for a couple hundred thousand and won. the little girl was the ladies daughter.

i read this in a news paper.

Among other things your lawyer should investigate whether or not they have been in any other traffic accidents. It almost seems that they were trying to cause an accident sitting there in bad conditions and eagerly reacting to the collision with concerns only of insurance.

Also, should investigate the hospital where their actual damages arise. Some cases are resolved with a dismissal and sanctions if it seems that hospitals exaggerate plaintiff's claims in anticipation of litigation. That seems most likely in this case. I highly doubt that the injuries from a 20 mph collision are enough to make it worthwhile bring this case to court.

Be wary of their attempts to settle with you. They may prey upon your fear of losing in a lawsuit when in actuality they have only very minimal damages. Your fear of "$50,000" could cause you to settle for $10,000 when they really only deserve about $500.

Take this with a grain of salt. A lot of these "extreme lawsuits" are fabrications.

http://www.snopes.com/legal/lawsuits.asp

That said, what evidence, if any, do you have? (i.e. crash scene, after photos, etc.). I probably wouldn't have thought to take pictures but maybe you guys do? Either way, I'd need more details about the medical problems they claim to have. Couldn't hurt to at least talk to a lawyer though.

That only details confirmed lawsuits... in fact, they have a section on these fabrications:
