| | lying on an insurance claim form - whats the score
Say you drove into someone and decided it was the other persons fault and called the police, police come and say bad luck its all on you. So you fill out an insurance claim form attributing 100% of the blame on the other person, but also 'neglect' to fill the section out on 'were the police in attendance'
would that be a silly thing to do?

Can be deemed fraud after which you can be placed on a "black"list meaning your only option for insurance the next upcoming years will be an insurance company specialising in insuring people who committed fraud and the payments for such will be huge.
Besides that:
I don't get it. The girl wanted to overtake and never looked properly and just drove into you, sucks but her fault, her problem. Also an insurance company will overlook the form and conclude that it was her fault anyway so your insurance will refuse to pay anyway. To avoid this the both of you can agree to alter the situation after which when caught nobody will get money.

Simple legal solution: Leave out the insurance. Share blame and costs as you like and pay out of your own pockets.

As they have proved to be totally irrational from the start I really wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them so I'm just gonna sit back and watch it all unfold.
oh and we both use the same insurance co. which makes it even funnier

If they can get the other co to pay so much the better.

I imagine see that they'd still honour third party claims, assuming they were not also fraudulent, but if both parties had submitted false claims it seems likely that neither would get anything.

Next best would be that they find out, void the contract leaving you with the liability
Worst case they find out, void the contract and make a criminal complaint for fraud.

Does this have anything to do with your accident?

We are both with the same insurance co. so no way I am going to lie on the form, I have filled out the section saying they were with the details.
The police have put the blame on her and are charging her, I'm just really confused as to why she would lie on the claim form
