More than year ago I have been involved in small accident. Stop and go traffic. I bumped into the car in front of me with at most few miles per hour. On my car the damage is literally only slightly bent license plate. I was found to be at fault. Few days after the accident all three of the occupants of the other vehicle claimed injuries. Even more, they first tried with hand injuries and when that did not work they switched to headaches etc. My insurance paid them ~600$ to settle. It is pretty obvious to me that the insurance did it for convenience just to get rid of the other party. However this is now being put on my drivers record as at fault with injury. I know that other party would not be able to present any medical evidence for their injuries. Is there any legal way I can fight this and remove it from my record? How can I protect myself in the future from the same thing if I am found to be at fault in a minor accident? I am sure that insurance co would forget "Duty to defend" and settle for a few hundred bucks per person, which would show on my record again.
