Lots of people see this as a way to make money for very little effort. All they need to do is go see a chiro, message therapist, PT, etc once or twice a week and after a few months they get a settlement check. Sweet deal, no?
I suspect that the fact that this stealing is rationalized away by the belief that Ins companies are bad and that stealing money from them is ok. Of course the payment of fraudulant claims is passed off on to all of us in the form of higher insurance premiums. Oh well.

No way you caused frame damage if your car basically dove under his and the bottom of his trailer hitch hit the top of your bumper. I wouldn't worry about it unless the guys starts asking for money, then tell him to call your insurance company, they'll look at his car and say no way also and that's it.
OOPS. I didn't read all the posts. Kinda sucks he hired an atty. Hopefully your insurance company will be very firm with them and not give more than a couple hundred bucks for some bogus whiplash/soft tissue claim and that'll be that. Either way they guy is a tool for even trying to claim injury. I think you could run over a pedestrian with an S2000 at 15mph and they wouldn't be hurt let alone someone in a 5000 lb SUV
