What is the name of your state? CA
I was involved in an accident where a driver cut me off while trying to get into a freeway interchange lane. He slammed on the brakes because it was stupid for him to try to get into the lane so late, but I hit him and was deemed 100% at fault.
The police report failed to include my statement that the other driver cut me off.
However, the police was not taken onsite, and not by the first officers on the scene. Also, the other party clearly lied and said he had been in the lane for 2 miles, which is a physical impossibility.
So the question is, how strong is that police report as evidence? Obviously its a hearsay statement anyways.
Thanks in advance.
