He was lying in the street in a way that did not support the claim and the police didn't believe him when called, as there was no scratch on my car or him. However Allstate paid him $5000 without even contacting me to get the facts and then doubled my rates. It was out and out fraud but no one gave a flying fart in space, it was easier to pay than to go to court, never mind that it just encourages people to sue for everything.

Unfortunately I wouldn't doubt your story given the direction our society seems to be heading. Fraud is a big cash cow now and we all have to pay for it.
