Admiral sueing client

Convicted Driver Insurance
I hope you can help with a problem I have been having with admiral insurance. I was fully comprehensive and was involved in an accident 2 years ago at christmas and was 3 times over the limit. At the time I was told there was no one else involved and I hit a stationary car, this was passed on to me twice by the police, it was never mentioned in my court case of any other person involved. Once I was sentenced Admiral cut any dealings with me and stopped the policy I had with them. It then turned out that someone claimed to have been in the vehicle that I hit. I was sent numerous correspondence that stated admiral where not responsible for my claim. The end result was that they went to court and afet a year I recieved a letter saying they were going to court as third party, the bottom line was they paid out the claim to the person I was never asked to involve myself and at one point I tried to discuss the matter with a solicitor they were using and was told I could not speak to her as she did not represent me. So they sent me a letter last october asking me to sign a liability form the form actually said they were going to represent my interests and i was about to send it but rang instead and was told it was sorted and settled and the cost was around 6,000. I then recieved a letter saying i owed 10,000. I have never signed any document accepting liability or had any dealings throughout the whole process and have never been able to state that I did not believe that someone else was involved and feel aggrieved that I have never been asked to make any statement. Can admiral sue me and if so what enables them to just get a figure and demand the amount they want. Can I contest this as I have never signed any liability form or anything stating I am responsible and insurers is it not a 2 way street as they accept money and every insurance policy is a gamble for them. I hope you can help me stop having sleepless nights.
 
It's common for insurers to make admissions on behalf of drivers and even admit liability and settle claims against drivers express wishes. The terms of insurance policies usually give them this authority.

in the case of drivers who are convicted of drink driving and are held to be at fault for accidents, it's now common for the terms of insurance policies to allow insurers to recover third party damages and costs from the responsible driver.

I understand your frustration that your insurer has been able to settle the clam against your wishes whilst at the same time refuse to indemnify you. If you want to challenge this then you'll need to take advice from a civil lawyer (which I am not) who specialises in insurance law.
