Car accident
#7566495 - 10/27/07 11:31 AM (16 years, 3 months ago) |

So I just dropped my girlfriend off at her place, was pulling out of her parking lot onto the residential street, and a car going roughly 35 mph in the middle of the street slammed into me. Mind you, I was on my side of the road, and this girl was definitely not.
So the cop comes, and like a normal cop, doesn't do shit. Writes me a ticket for failure to yield right of way while entering a highway. I claim this is ridiculous as it clearly was not my fault. So what does he do? Writes us both tickets!
I knew not to move my truck after the collision occurred, and took pictures of where it was sitting. My girlfriend also saw the whole thing and is a witness that I did not move my truck after it happened.
I'm so pissed off right now, and really hope that this works out in my favor as I didn't do a damn thing wrong! I yielded, but the bitch was on the wrong side of the road! Ahhhh.

Well the good thing is that both of you got a ticket, so if you get an attorney and go through the insurance....which you will, the attorney can say it wasn't your fault because she recieved a ticket as well(In light of better explanation, cause I am too busy to write it).

That sucks a lot. Hopefully in court you can prove your case =(. Your post reminded me to always have a camera in the car though. Thanks.

good luck getting money out of the insurance company
you're gonna need it.
sorry that had to happen to you. car accidents suck, there are no winners, no matter how well you're insured you always end up worse off than before the wreck.

It's not even about the money, really. The only damage to my truck was the front left blinker got knocked off, and a buncha scrapes and scratches. Her car was FUCKED up, the bumper was hanging off and smoke was spraying out of the hood.
I just know I was not at fault, whatsoever. I don't care if I get a penny from her insurance company, just so long as I don't have to pay for her damages. Hopefully the pictures I took along with my girlfriend as a witness will be enough to prove my case.

yeah, since she got a ticket too, they might no-fault it. that means everyone pays for their own shit, basically. Thats what usually happens when its one person's word over the other.
this happened to me recently in a parking lot wreck. It was totally her fault, but I didn't have enough evidence to prove that, so the insurance companies just refused to pay either of us since our stories didn't match. fucking bums

Was she azn? Driving to school one time I was just cruisin in my lane right? This girl just pulls into my lane and hits my car... when we pull over she tries to say it was all my fault and that when she came into my lane (w/out signaling btw) I just came outa nowhere.
So we call the cop and explain it to him and hes like "lady this is 100% your fault" damn was I relieved. Funny thing was we were both going to the same class. That bitch owed me though cuz I told her I wouldn't make a claim against her (shes fukin hawt). I am still waiting for my sex
