When avoidance hurts

The insurance brokers and repair workshop have been calling actively recently, due to the motor insurance claim i made becoz of the accident in April.

I had a witness to the accident, and from a brief understanding from the repair workshop, she gave her statement via a teleconversation and truly it was in my favour. However, i have no idea what transpired in between but seems that of late, the witness is hesitant in providing her statement and disclaims that she saw the accident. The legal firm requested that i call her personally to see if she'd speak and moments ago, the lady hung up the phone on me. I am inclined to call the witness once again but when i tried to speak to her, she again disclaimed & tried to avoid by getting me to call her another day. When i requested for a good time to speak, she simply blurted "sorry" and hung up.

While some part of me believed that the repair workshop didn't manage her emotions and the incident well, i can't help but feel injusticed & "sway". If the witness had indeed spoken previously and outta a sudden disclaim all relationship, it's probably that she freaked out. Well, i am not sure if i'd do the same if the tides were turned but for sure, i might not be able to overcome my conscience and probably would be damn guilty abt the matter. I am not sure if she's guilty abt hanging up the phone on me but well, it also shows one's character. I am not blaming her but well, this' just a minor accident but if she'd been a witness to a major accident, then truly, such behaviour is rather unacceptable and clearly shows the ugly side of human nature - as long as i am not affected, I don't care abt what happen to others.
