My best friend was in a car accident a little over a week ago. He was driving to work early in the morning, slid on ice, and almost went off the road. A can came up from behind him, couldn't stop and hit him, pushing him into a ditch. The man got out of his car, apologized, said he tried to stop. The officer came along, asked if he had any injuries and if he thinks there is damage to the front of the car. He then called a wrecker, to have him pulled out of the ditch ($75). The officer determined that noone was at fault, the accident was due to bad weather.
We obtained a copy of the police report, and it states that he was in the ditch before the car rear ended him! The officer must have been going by what the other guy said, as he did not get asked his side.
The other guys insurance is now refusing to pay for the front end damage, only for the rear bumper. They gave a check for $200, when the lowest estimate he got was more than 700!
Does this sound right to anyone?
