Inflated claim

Many motorists have encountered this experience. The car in front stopped suddenly. The car at the bank knocked into the bumper. It was a small scratch. Both parties agreed not to file any claims.

Later, the motorist of the rear car received a claim, usually through a lawyer, for a sum that is way above the actual damages. It seemed that the damages have been inflated. If you do not settle the claim, the lawyer would file a legal suit and take you to court.
