hit while pulling into my driveway
Heading westbound on street, I Had right blinker on, I looked in rear view mirror and no one was right behind me at that time, then I'm slowing and then brake lights on, just start turning into my driveway, I was slammed into very hard and propelled further into my drive and then spun around landed left of my drive on lawn now facing in a southeast direction. I can see the car that hit me pull up a bit more and stop just past my drive.
I called 911 and then my husband on my cell, I never moved from my car. I knew I had whip lash and my back was hurting also an immediate headache. After calling 911, Two more cars pulled up one behind the car that hit me and another into my neighbors drive. All kids, 3 boys and a girl they all went to the car that hit me. The driver and his passenger and all the other teens were yelling at me, how I was going to pay big time and my insurance company would pay big too. The one car with 2 boys left when the cops were arriving.
The cops came and All at once...one asked what happened I told him I was hit from behind while turning into my drive, another simply asked for my license and proof of insurance, the paramedics were asking how I was hurt and then another asked where I wanted my car towed. This was all at once...So confusing. AND no cop asked if I was alright.
No one asked me for my statement. I had to demand that the cop who took all the info from all the other people take one from me when almost everyone was gone. 4 cop cars, one motorcylcle cop, a fire truck, 2 paramedics and 2 tow truck drivers showed up at this scene.
The kid that hit me and the girl and another boy (witnesses) said that I was turning left and had my left blinker on. (NOT TRUE) The cop that took their statements said in his report that I was at fault for not yeilding to this other driver. I am upset over the finding, How if I am in front and turning into my own drive be at fault?
I had $6987.00 worth of damage to the rear of my car, the kid also said he was only going 15 mph. That also was in the police report. Is there anything I should do about this report. I gave a statement to my Insurance company and I also had pictures that they asked me to send them. There were no skid marks on the street that the kid tried to stop but there were in my driveway from my car, I tried to brake as I was headed for a huge boulder to the left of my drive but then I started spinning. I also got pictures of the cars, the street and drive.
