My State is Florida. My husband was recently hit by a car. The police were called and he was the one that was cited. The cop cited him for failing to yeild to traffic. Even if he would have used a cross walk (which was at the end of the road) there are no side walks on either side of the road. If he had used the crosswalk, he still would have been on the road. The driver's insurance company called us and told us that our car insurance would cover the damages done to the car. However, I am reluctant to contact our insurance company cuz I don't want our rates to go up since our car was not involved. Besides that, I don't think the accident was totally his fault. The police report didn't state how fast the driver was going. The police report also didn't state the damages he did to the driver's car. Just an estimated damage amount. ($600) How do I know that the driver isn't claiming damages that were already there. Anyone know what our legal options are? Can we pay it out of pocket instead of involving our insurance company. I would rather pay it all upfront then in the long run it costing us more due to rate hikes. I would contact one of those personal injury lawyers, but he wasn't serioulsy hurt or anything....neither was she. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
