Q: In preparing to bring civil action for an auto accident I have been able to show the police falsified a report
One witness accused by one driver causing him to back into my son, was released without statement the Driver information exchange was missing the offending driver info on my sons copy. I hired an independent collision expert who determined it was impossible for the accident to happen the way it was reported and I have two witnesses that say they never were allowed to make a statement even though the officer claims my son admitted to hitting the other driver. The officer masked the wrong crash point on my truck in his statement. The Illinois department of insurance is investigating the arbitration when they failed to provide all the evidence in particular the crash reconstruction. I dont know how to address this in my complaint. Until the officer talked to the other guy he admitted he backed into Jorden because of the third party mentioned earlier.
A: Speak to your attorney handling the auto case. Sounds like if you show your evidence you can get the report changed or at least show there is a question of fact regarding the veracity of the report. You should also try and make an addendum to the original report. Good luck!
