What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
While bicycling, a truck pulled in front of me. According to my GPS, I had .34 seconds (less than half a second) between the time I started slowing down to the time of impact. I had two broken wrists and a scratch on my leg that required stitches. When I got the police report, it said it was my fault!!! How can this be??? I was driving straight, following the rules of the road, while the truck made an unsafe turn. He didn't even see me until he heard me crash into his truck. When I saw the truck, I immediately braked and there wasn't much else I could do. His insurance just left a message and I'm afraid to call them back for fear of being sued! What can I do?
