What If ... Car Accidents |
|
| |
| Your Question: |
| The other driver caused
the car accident but I got the ticket. |
| |
| Our Answer: |
|
You
should speak to an experienced car accident attorney right
away if you are hurt in a motor vehicle accident and
believe it was caused by the other driver, even though you
got a ticket. Get a copy of the police report from
the police department that came to the accident scene and bring
the report to the personal injury attorney.
Police officers are trained to investigate auto accidents
but they are only human and sometimes make mistakes.
The following car accident situations may cause an officer to make a
mistake:
 |
Witnesses who
leave the car accident scene or do not identify themselves
to the police.
|
 |
Witnesses or
drivers who intentionally lie about the car accident.
|
 |
Witnesses or
drivers who do not correctly remember what happened
during the car accident .
|
 |
Drivers or
witnesses who do not speak English well enough to
explain what happened in the car accident.
|
 |
Important evidence
at the car accident scene is overlooked.
|
 |
Vehicles are moved
after the car accident before the police arrive.
|
 |
A police officer
may unfairly think certain people are more believable
than others.
|
 |
A police officer
may be more sympathetic to a driver who lives in the
same town, is older, or seems more
"respectable."
|
If
there is a question as to who caused an auto accident, it is extremely important to contact an attorney
immediately to preserve important evidence.
Cars are fixed, witnesses move or forget, skid marks fade,
debris from the car accident scatters or is moved.
And even if you are partially
at fault, Connecticut personal injury law allows you to recover for
your injuries as long as you are not more than 50%
responsible for the motor vehicle accident.
