The judgement was that it was my friend's fault, but he didn't have an attorney, and the officer that worked the accident was the other person's(involved in the accident)boyfriend. Also, I need to know if it is too late to appeal it since he didn't have a lawyer and the pictures of the accident show that when the other person pulled out in front of him--he hit her in the side not the rear of the vehicle. Thanks for the other answers. And, no, he doesn't want it to just go away---but the other person involved won't discuss anything with him, so he needed to know what to do...Thanks...

Way too late to appeal, in every state in the US.

traffic accidents are handled at 2 places the police who take a report and may or may not issue tickets for traffic court and civil court. The tickets don't matter much in the real scheme of things. How the insurance company settles it though does, and whether they pay or not based on fault. You don't state whos insurance paid? sometimes the companies agree to each pay their own insured. Was anyone injured? How the companies handled that counts too. What would he appeal? What do you mean by the judgement? (judgment if civil award) Everones judgement? He didn't have insurance and had to pay damages out of pocket? If this is the case then he was found at fault, but policeman had nothin to do with that, insurance company mostly igores them as witnesses in traffic accidents, they didn't see anything and rarely remember anything that was said.

I'm sure there is a statute of limitations on this, but you need to contact an attorney in your state to confirm

If its 13 years ago its off the DMV records by now... also any civil liability your friend may have is null and void due the statute of limitations.

When you sit on your rights you lose them. It seems someone set to long. Statute of limitations have ran. Murder is the only crime that has no statute of limitation.

I would think that the statue of limitations would've run out on this one.
