A driver who scraped another car with his vehicle while leaving a bar carpark has had an insurer's decision to turn down his claim on the basis he had been drinking overturned.
The claim was initially denied because the insurer said the driver was 'under the influence' - but he argued two handles of beer was hardly inebriated.
Barrister Chris Patterson says there's a lesson that can be taken from this.
"If you've been wronged, then it's worth taking the insurance company on. If you know that the insurance company's on good grounds because the grounds they gave you are fair and you accept them - it's probably not worth taking them on."
