What is the name of your state? Louisiana
I was involved in a MVA in Texas. At the scene the officer in charge stated the there where no witnesses and that both parties claim they had right of way. When I received the report it stated that I was clearly at fault and that there was a witness. In speaking with the officer I was told that since I could not remember if I left skid marks he is basing his opinion on my inability to remember. The following day I returned to the scene and photographed and measured any skid marks I could find. The insurer of the vehicle I was driving, it was not my vehicle but the owner was in the car and I am on the policy, sent an investigator to the scene and concluded that no marks were found that correlated with the vehicle I was driving. The vehicle I was driving was struck behind the wheel well, rear quarter panel, by the other vehicles left driver side front (left of center) which caused the vehicle I was in to skid sideways then roll. There are many inconsistencies in the report that are not supported by physical evidence. At the scene I had many lacerations and bruises but now my shoulder is extremely tender, swollen and burns. I dont have health insurance or medical payments on my insurance coverage and am unemployed. I need medical attention but can not afford it or the debt associate with medical care. This is my first MVA and I realize that I really need an attorney but dont know where to turn. What state do I file in Louisiana or Texas. What about the inconsistancies in the police report. (the officer said to let the insurance companies fight it out). I am totally confused.
