A: Hey we would need more information. Call a Criminal Defense Attorney or a Personal Injury attorney and they can review the police report and tell you what your options are. I pray this helps.

A: Depends on where you and they are, who is doing what, but generally the person on the main roadway--including turning lanes--has the right of way over someone pulling from an alley or a private driveway. If you were hurt contact a member of the Ga. Trial Lawyers Assn in the county where it happened. They give free consults.
