On January 3, 2002, I was trying to cross the road in Uckfield's High Street when a 4x4 car backed out of a parking spot and knocked me over.

I am 63 years old and have sustained several injuries.

I went to my insurance company to try and get compensation. Last week, we received a letter from the car owner's insurance company denying she knocked me over.

There were several witnesses and they pulled me up but I was dazed and didn't think at the time to ask for names.

I believe need financial assistance as I hurt my leg and it is still very painful and doesn't appear to want to heal.
