What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IL
I was in an accident a few weeks ago. No one was hurt that I know of. My vehicle was totaled and the other may have been as well. I was sitting at a light to turn left, got the green arrow and turned. Driver from the opposite way went through the intersection and hit me with enough force to spin my car around and total it. I say I had the green arrow to turn and he says he still had the green light to go through the intersection. We both received tickets and a court date. I think they will find that we are both partially at fault as I didn't see him coming. It was early in the morning and the sun was right in my face. I was focusing on the arrow and not the traffic. Will this be settled easily? Should I find an attorney to represent me at court?
Thanks
