**Newflash!** Hey all I need some info. on a darn good lawyer.In Denver.It seems I had a slight run in with the State trooper on this dark and snowy highway.S.O.B was behind an unmark car(2 of 'em)
As I was approaching the cars,seems like normal cars,I've start to notice a little flashing of red and blue lights AHEAD of car I was behind(And a safe driving distance)I let up on accelerater, start to slow down,Than*BAM!*The car ahead of me STOPPED,on the left side of highway,I did everything I could to try to stop!(One thousand one,one th....)I smash into him,and then smash him into the car in front of him! Get this! Second car, DID NOT HAVE WARNING LIGHTS "ON"! So long story short,I'm and my passenger are ok,we wearing seatbelts.The car I ran into,driver wassent to the hospital,Back sore.The second car infront of him,suffered a nasty gash across forehead and under R. eye.My truck? The BIG bumper protected most of the front,'cept crinkle hood and took out left front light.The rad. was fine .we stayed in the truck for about 2 hrs,staying warm!Because I ran into a cop,they impounded my beast to check for mech. failure.Too bad I've just bought new tires for my dually,and earlier,put on new rotors and pads. So now am getting ready for the long process with the insurance.Hopefully they can come up with a lawyer too.Sorry for the long unrelated topic.Will everybody feel better,if they know now I'm down to my street legal,track car? It's cold out,AND I DON'T HAVE HEAT!(Headers)I hope everybody had a much nicer Easter than mine. |

Even if they had the hazard lights on....they were still impeding traffic by driving slower than the normal flow or for what was safe in the LEFT FREAKING LANE....I think you have a defensible position.
If you get a smart lawyer....ask him to request an impound ON THEIR vehicle and inspect the hazard lights....if they are broken and they were in use, they show a different color to a cold broken light bulb..... In another life I also do accident reconstruction as a Private Investigator. Just THAT threat will most likely make them realize that you aren't gonna roll over and take it the rear.... Here in CA, the cops have to have an IQ of 100....that's why there are two in each car... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) |
