What is the name of your state?I posted this before, but I have one more question...
What is the name of your state? Alaska
I was involved in a car accident back in Jan. of 2004. I had an old beat up Mazda pickup, and I had no insurance. The accident happened on my way to work. The roads were icy and at an intersection, I had a hard time stopping at a stop sign. (I was going under the speed limit.) A pickup truck twice the size of mine, which is owned by the government, hit me on the right side and completely damaged my truck. I also had a cut on my forehead that required 12 stitches. I was given a ticket for 'failure to stop at a stop sign', but was later dropped. I was told by the officer handling the accident that the other vehicle was going into the shop to get an estimate done. After a few months of not hearing from them, I figured they dropped everything. My fiance and I, along with my daughter decided to relocate to California in July. Now, 9 months after the accident, I receive a bill from the government stating that I owe close to $8,000. Also, I got a copy of the police report, and the police officer at the scene stated that the other driver was suspected as being under the influence of alcohol. Is this worth fighting, or should I just pay?
Thanks so much for your advice.
