Contact the investigating officer, explain your situation, and see if he will release it. He may since you are innocent and pictures of the damage will suffice as evidence. If he won’t release it, hire a lawyer to get it back for you. The judge can order it released to you.

Most states have things an attorney can do to get treatment. Problem now is showing your treatment you lied about is related. Sit down with your attorney, review what can be done.

Not as I understand your question.
If you were not at fault, contact a member of the Ky Assn for Justice--their members give free consults.
File a police report. We would now like to do that

Most police allow you to file a police report on your own. They won't respond--it's just your report but that gets it on the record.
I let my friend borrow my car to go to the gas station and back. I have a witness that I said, "Promise me, only the gas station and straight back" and he said, "Yes, I promise. There and back." 4 hours later I get a call that he has totaled my car in a ditch driving drunk. He... View More

The proper charge is Unauthorized Access to a Motor Vehicle. If you say it was stolen your friend will retaliate with, "hey, I know him and he gave me the keys and authority to drive the car. I was gone four hours, but I had no intent to permanently deprive him of his vehicle. He knows... View More

Generally as to the other vehicle, the policy covering the car is primary, driver of daughters car secondary.

Sounds like a phishing expedition. If it's your car why would they call her? Did they ask her for her or your social security number or date of birth? Did they ask for her maiden name?

Insurance sent me a letter saying he's not insured and asking if I had knowledge and or given him permission. What would be the outcome of me telling them I didn't know or give permission verse me telling them I did know and have him permission
answered on Sep 22, 2017
If you say he had no permission they won't cover and it's a mess. If you say he had permission they may cover if he wasn't a regular user, unless he was specifically excluded.
Also if he wasn't excluded hopefully you listed him in the application as a driver living in the household.
Auto accident and neck injury sustained which has left nerve damage and chronic cervical migraines. Insurance settled a year ago. I always wondered why my airbag did not deploy or my seatbelt restrain. Received a recall noting that the airbag and restraint system not functioning properly.

Probably when you settled with the other driver you signed a release stating you release all others. Also check with the lawyer who represented you to see if you have an underinsured motorist claim.

Not enough information. Best plan is to get a private lawyer, or a public defender, to sort it out.
Plus, this is a police report, which is NOT an admissible piece of evidence. It is a report, after the fact, stating the hearsay "versions" of both sides. If you feel you are not at... View More
