Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Re: Car Accident

Of course. The police report is not admissible evidence in civil cases. It cannot be used against you. At any rate, the police report is just one officer's quick opinion based on what he/she THINKS happened. The officer didn't witness the accident. Give us a call. We will be happy to help you.

Re: Car Accident

The police report does not determine fault for compensation, it just makes it much much harder when it is against you.

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.

Re: Car Accident

Sure. Police reports do not determine fault. I reflects only the judgment of the officer based upon information the the officer received second hand and may be wrong.

If you have significant injuries, have the case reviewed by a qualified attorney. Otherwise, sue in small claims court.

Re: Car Accident

You should contact a PI atty in your area, have him review the report to see what can be done. You can do a supplemental police report yourself. Any witnesses favorable to you? If you make a claim against the other driver, you have the burden of proof. How will you prove the other driver was negligent? Get a legal opinion.
