Go to make a left hand turn off the main road and get smacked by a state trooper! Yet its my fault when he came on the wrong side of the road! wtf!!!





Someone near by said they was running 80-90mph. Hit hard enough to dent passenger side. They were supposedly chasing a car... with no lights on... when there was no other car on that road for some time...

Long story short I got screwed for doing nothing. Dont know if Im goin to fix it or part it. It seems like alot of damage to try and fix unless I can find a shell. What you guys think?

 

I say its totaled..I dont see the worth in fixing that. Also I say you should fight in court and make the cop pay..just because your a cop, does not mean you did not make a dumb mistake.

 

P.I.T. Maneuver....epic fail lol. Rookies!

Sorry to see that.... why not take it to a collision center and submit the insurance claim.

 

yeah i say fight it. you claim he didnt have his lights on and was not chasing a car. Iono why you would let him blame you he clearly is trying to keep himself out of fault. FIGHT IT!

 

sorry to here about that, but i think your screwed. All for the fact you were turning left. Failer to yeild on a left hand turn will screw you all the time, doesnt matter if the person was cop or not they could be doing way over speed limit and it still would be your fault. I hope something works out for yah but it looks totalled.

 

that is bs, call insurance, get a lawyer, just because they are cops doesn't mean their infallible.

 

Same goes for civilian drivers.

 

Sorry man I know how you feel but I would fight it. F*** the Police! Make him pay to get you a nice new car.

 

I think he did yield... but the cop took him from behind... ( ). It appears the cop was in the other lane trying to get around on the outside and then hit him in the driver's rear.

Honestly if they cop didn't have his lights on, I don't see how they could say it was your fault... THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE LIGHTS.

 

Court! Also.."cops" isn't a single entity. What you probably meant to say was "Another reason I hate careless jerks who become cops." No need to bash on cops in general as if they all deserve it.

 

fight it!.. and there was a witness

 

yeah, lawyer up and fight it. 1. cop car might have dashboard camera that shows what happened. and 2. cop should have reported that he was chasing a car to dispatch, if they don't have that on file, then he is a liar.

 

Lawyer up and take it to court.

 

ya lawyer up and fight. there is no reason anyone, including a cop, should be traveling at that speed on a civilian road. If he had his lights on sure, but you said he didnt, the witness said he didnt, so he was clearly being reckless and needs to be dealt with with the proper punishment. Talk to a lawyer and go from there. Best of luck as always.

 

there are reasons police can pursue without lights or sirens.

 

^ not while going 90mph... thats putting his life and everyone else's in danger... see the outcome? thank god nobody was hurt!

 

If you had full coverage I HIGHLY recommend you using it. Pay your deductible (if the vehicle is totaled it'll be deducted from your settlement), and let your insurance company go after them for reimbursement.

Trying to deal with a government agency with an accident and getting paid is the Biggest pain the ___ (I know I deal with it on a daily basis at work).

 

yeah, there are lots of reasons for police to be going on a call without their emergency lights on, BUT they are still liable for damages if they crash, especially if they don't have their emergency lights on because other cars on the road have no idea that they should be getting out of the way for the officier.

if the cop had his lights on, and the driver fails to clear the roadway for the cop, then yes, the motorist would be at fault, but that is not the case this time.

 

I agree with all the points that draxcaliber had said so i wont repeat them... Also glade to see you walk away from the accident with no injuries...

 

if that is the case and he was truly "on pursuit" then the police should be responsible for all damages don't they have insurance for that kind of thing? Sounds fishy to me something isn't right.
