What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
I was involved in an accident in Nov of 2005. At the time my coverage on my vehicle had lapsed and I was not aware at the time. I was driving my summer convertible.
The other driver had a presense of alcohol as did I ( from 2 drinks at the bar) and was given a breath test, I did not receive a DWI. Although I was told I could leave the scene of the accident given I had a ride home and could leave my car there til morning to get towed.
The other guy drove home in his vehicle.
I came to an intersection and was turning left onto a ramp to merge wit h an interestate. THe arrow was green as I approached it and when I came to the line (I cold not stop) it turned yellow. I went through the light and out of no where this truck goes through the intersection and I hit him.
The police came and I was cited for failure to yeild to a traffic signal.
THe insurance company took 9 months to even contact me about the accident and they never sent anything about it until about 2 months ago when I was sent a threatning letter saying they was ten grand in damages. I received 12,000 in damages to my car. He also had alcohol on his breath so shouldn't he be just as liable?
I got a letter from the DOT today saying they are going to suspend my license and my registration because of this.
They never gave me a chance to fight it. I asked for proof and they sent a copy of the police report (which does not help except that I now know he was drinking). THe report doesnt say that I was 100% to blame just that I impacted him making a left hand turn.
I don't have 10,000 to pay for this.....can anyone help me?
PLEASE???!!!
