We wrote a letter to the Baltimore sun. He said he is interested in more details.
She took off work today too she is sore she said so we will have to go to the doctors.
Thanks again NT. I don't understand what "I am not equipped to do that" even means. Like i could give a damb field sobriety test. Not that it was needed dude was so blatant.
good to know i got got basically i just hope everything goes ok from here
idiots on NT only thinking about the insurance ramifications:x @ yall asking why OP is concerned about a drunk driver
Seriously?
Lol so all because someone "served" that means they have the right to drive drunk and cause accidents with out any consequences???Shout out to cool cops letting those who SERVED off of the DUI charge.
I think they more so do it to give a heads up to people driving with no license/registration or papers, and to people that might be in possession of some weed/drugs or high.On a side note, regarding drunk driving, its been a huge pet peeve of mine when people post sobriety checkpoint locations on Facebook.
I don't follow the logic though. If he is at the scene wasted, can't he be arrested? Or is this the loophole of.. Because he was out of the car and the cops didn't witness it, they can't do anything?Small Update:
So the Baltimore Sun crime reporter called and got a little more information.
The reason it is legal is because a field sobriety test is under the discretion of the cop. The only way you can demand a breathalyzer is if the person is already under arrest. Then they can force him to take it. But since he wasn't under arrest we couldn't forcibly make him take it.
And again. this wasn't even dudes car. So he didn't serve, it was his mother in laws car.
it doesnt matter. Her insurance will cover this and go after his insurance. Most higher ups already have contacts with other insurance companies. Its a buddy system and they respect each other.. Your sister will be fine if she have full coverage insurance which it looks like she probably does not since your so worried. if that is the case, your stuck waiting on their insurance. Get a insurance lawyer
Because its not always "case closed"
You learn that terrible people do terrible things. This dude will lie, or dodge insurance calls or do something to make it seem like he wasn't at complete fault. Sadly i have had this happen to me. I was without a car for 2 months while the process got figured out, had to pay a lawyer had to go to court had to waste so much of my life because of it.
What happen when he told the insurance company you swerved into his lane? Was he still at fault? usually it doesnt matter the person that hit from behind is at fault.
There was a police report made.
Technically you are correct. But people who get wasted and crash into you normally tend to be not the most upstanding citizens. So i am worried about what he tells the insurance company because i was hit at a dead stopped red light and the dude that hit me lied to his insurance company and told them I swerved into his lane and he didn't react in time.
I don't think anyone is disputing whether the car will get fixed. It's whether the guy will lie to insurance denying fault causing a length investigation and more or less the ******** behavior of the police. If it does go to an investigation who knows what will happen since the guy who crashed into OP's car has police friends.
Just out of curiosity is the police report accurate OP? Also if you have full coverage you should get a rental while the car is in the shop.
Kingkoopa is right. It does not matter if you swerved into his lane causing him to hit you. It is still his fault. You must maintain proper distance 2 car length and drive at proper speed. If one does that you wont be hitting persons in the rearYou have no idea what your talking about si why comment.
If I stop suddenly and you hit me, its your fault.
If I don't have brake lights and you hit me, its your fault.
Proper distance while trailing and control over your vehicle trumps ALL.
Once again, the only thing intoxication plays a role in is him going to jail or not.
It plays no role in who is at fault with insurance companies in this case.
Yea but you would have a hard time proving his brake lights was not working after rear ending himIf I don't have brake lights and you hit me, its your fault.
Exactly. and the settlement will be highHim being drunk / intoxicated / under the influence of medication makes it a open and shut case.
^^^ you dont get it. If dude was arrested insurance will settle out more. If dude didnt get arrested as he did and try to lie and wiggle , insurance will settle less or try to and take longerI'm not 100% sure, but my take is why would it.
It would certainly help in a criminal case against him.
But his drunkness doesn't raise the price of parts and labor.
Nor would your doctor add extra charges to your medical bill because of it.
NO..I was thinking the same thing about the lack of concern regarding an irresponsible reckless drunk driver.
I hope everything gets resolved as best as possible op.
On a side note, regarding drunk driving, its been a huge pet peeve of mine when people post sobriety checkpoint locations on Facebook.
Its basically saying, "its ok for you to drive drunk, just don't drive drunk over here where their doing checkpoints and let me help you not get caught by posting the location"
