Does a police report opinion accident liability? If for an example a car Toyota crashes in the back of a neon. and the police listed it on the report his oppion is that the neon slammed on his break, and didnt have break lights.
Your insurance company is going to review the police report, your statements, and the statements of witnesses and the other party. After they review that they will make a determination of fault and decide to accept liability or not on your behalf. If you think that you were not at fault in the accident make sure that you file a claim against the other persons insurance.
Yes. Although a court would consider such a report as highly valuable in determining the nature of an accident, and while it may be very helpful to a court in determining fault, there is no legal requirement for a police report to be done in order for civil liability to be assessed from an accident.
Yes. In a rear end accident, the liability is still there even if police are not called.
Car insurance in general is not built for you when you are not at fault in an accident. You should complete a police report and and contact an attorney to help sue the at-fault party. If you have just liability you are not paying your insurance company for help in this matter. Liability pays for the damage you cause when you are at-fault in an accident.
I would like to hear the answer to this question too. My husband met with an accident and the police gave the other driver a ticket and he was at fault without doubt. The insurance company is not settling the claim saying we have to share the liability. They are not paying for a rental also. Please advise.
You can get an accident report at the police station.
As long as the other carrier has accepted liability, they will owe for your damages whether you have insurance or not.
The driver at fault is liable for the collision, regardless of the other driver's actions post-collision. The fleeing driver may later be brought up on Hit and Run or Leaving the Scene of an Accident charges, but that will not change the at fault liability.
