Q: Q: ii had a stop sign and i stopped but the other driver didnt have a stop sign and speeding 100 miles.

i didnt see her coming and she hit me She got the speeding and accident ticket and i got a ticket that says not at fault but failure to yield. who is liable

1 Lawyer Answer

A: You need to fight your ticket, to get it dismissed. Then, a CIVIL court can decide the civil liability.

Police should have cited that driver going 100 with reckless driving, at a minimum. If any PERSONAL injuries to you or a passenger, tell me location of the crash, and I can refer you to a good civil attorney in that area.

If only vehicle damages, no need to call. That money should be "automatically" paid to you.
