What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
I submitted a post regarding my son's failure to control accident. (no replies
I was reading the accident report, today, and realized that the officer did not correctly report what happened.
What happened: Car "A" traveling East. Car "B" traveling West.
at the point of a curve in the road, Car "B" turned Left, in front of Car "A" approaching, to enter a business.
In order to avoid a head-on collision, car "A" swerved left to avoid Car "B" (who at that point had come to a stop in eastbound lane.
When car "A" tried to swerve right to get back into his lane, he hit a telephone pole (because of the curve in the road)
What was on the accident report:
Car "A" swerved to avoid Car "B" in front of him, who was turning right.
That is incorrect: he makes he sound as though car "B" was in front of Car "A", going in the same direction, and was simply turning right into the business.
Is there a chance for it to be dismissed? Or, at best, is there a chance to at least bring up that there was contributary negligence by car "B"?
