I was involved in a car accident with a reckless driver. After he intentionally cut me off and hit me, we pulled over to exchange papers. He called me filthy names and scared me to death. I took down his plate number and drove off. I called the police and reported the accident 10 minutes later. The cop told me to file a complaint with the registry, which I did. Apparently, after I drove off, the "crazy man" called the police and told the officer that I hit him and drove off without exchanging papers. I was cited for several civil infractions along with a criminal citation for leaving the scene of an accident. I was found at fault for the accident and will get a surcharge and have to eat the deductible. I have appealed the citations and the surcharge. The insurance company told me that if I beat all 5 citations, they will consider reimbursing my deductible. Something is wrong here!!! Can an officer cite me for something he did not witness? What are my chances of beating this?
