Once again this depends on where you are located and what kind of information you are looking for.  Believe it or not Florida has a law that makes it a felony to disclose information from a crash report within 60 days to anyone but a select few, including parties involved in the crash and the media.  Seems we had a lot of ambulance chasers at one time.

almost definitely no.  This injury did not arise from operating a motor vehicle, it arose from the cop's error.

If the car was being used witout your authorization...there should be an additional charge against the person driving it at the time of the accident! You can recoupe those damages thru restitution no law suit necessary. If you want to sue for breach of contract...you need to file suit. If you want to get a judgement in excess of 5k (in NY) you can not file small claims. My suggestion take what you can get in small claims so you dont have to pay the lawyers!

Our 10yr old son & i were in an accident nearly a year ago. We were at a dead stop & rear-ended by someone doing 55mph. Our son ended up with a concussion & a cardiac contusion. I have 3 ruptured discs in my neck (C4-C7) The driver of the car that hit us was not injured.

You shouldn't expect any compensation because it was an accident.  No one's fault, but yours, for not being careful.  This accident you caused will make you much more careful in the future - think of it as one of life's lessons and move on.

I hate to tell you this but hire an attorney.  I couldn't get the insurance company who was at fault in my wreck to admit responsibility.  The minute I called an attorney I had a rental car and my car was transferred to the collision center.  The exact thing happened to me.  Just hang in there.  I hope it wasn't Geico insurance.  \n\nDespite all the fees the attorney charged me they really helped get the ball rolling.  Good luck!

Yes. You failed to supply information to the victim. Plus you failed to properly report the accident. \n\nJust because you happen to 'work in an emergency room' is no excuse not to have left information. Plus if you provided false information; Um hi, local police, my name is 'Bob Smith' and I hit a car over on 1st ave. I was late for work but I promise that when my shift is over I will come back and leave the necessary information.\n\nImagine that was your car that was struck, and someone 'called the police' and promised to comeback and report it but never did, or if they did report it, provided fake information; name of a person from school, co worker, or made name date of birth, or fake license plate number.

If your friend does anything illegal, runs a red light and is caught by a street camera, hit and run accident, accumulates parking tickets, or abandons the car in the middle of no where, you are responsible.  Your name on the title states that you are responsible for what happens to that vehicle.

If you stopped in a lane that was not a turn lane then it is your fault. You cant just stop in the middle of traffic because you cant get over. Still though, you can argue with the insurance company and perhaps convince them. Doubt it.

If you were not in the car when it hit the pole, then it was probably his fault and he is blaming you for it. Regardless, I would let your insurance company deal with it, and if thats not working get a lawyer, but its probably not worth the cost of a lawyer.

It is your fault if you hit the car in front of you. Reguardless if the dude behind you "made" you hit the car ahead. That's why they say to keep a good distance from the car in front of you.

It depends on the situation.  If a person was going too fast and couldn't stop, it's their fault.  If it was truly an accident on both sides then they should exchange insurance information and move on.

Not by law, but you will want to for liability reasons. For instance, if you had an employee driving your company car and they crash into someone hurting them and they found out that you never checked for their driver's license they can sue you for being negligent (sp)...and that comes with a hefty price you are found guilty.

I would stop and give my name and phone number to the person that was the victim, many times we think something is clear as a bell but, it is not and many people will try anything these days to get out of trouble. Injuries that show up later are real and in some cases the person in the vehicle has actually turned around and sued the pedestrian for damaging their car.
