Filing a "damages" claim against GA DOT


I want to file a claim for auto damages incurred during an accident between me and an 18 wheel truck in the state of GA. I was hit by the truck as we were making a left hand turn. There were two turn lanes but the officer wrote the incident up as a "no fault" because there were no "lines painted on the turn so it would be impossible to tell who hit who..."

It seems to me that if there are two legal turn lanes then the state DOT should have some kind of indication of boundries.

I have no idea how get started with reqesting that they pay damamges. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

Find the nearest wall and walk into it. Repeat until unconscious. That is the nearest approximation of what you are proposing.

This will be a 50-50 fault accident. You (or your insurance) will pay for your damages and he or his insurance will pay for his, unless of course he admits to coming out of his lane, or there was a witness.
