My son was driving my car and passed through a blinking yellow light on a main street. Another car was coming out of a side street making a left hand turn and t boned my son on the drivers side. My son was issued a citation for failure to yield on a yellow light. Is this right?

The police report is not admissible to prove fault. A clever attorney can hire an accident reconstructionist to establish liability on the other driver if the facts support that. Reach out to one of us privately for more specific advice.

If you'd like to try forceful persuasion, you can hire a lawyer to... View More
