Can I get sued for this.

[waggy]

hmm i think you need to learn to drive.

"My girlfriend took the accident report to her supervisor( shes is an auxillary) to see what he can do, as far as I can tell he can clear my name but I am still scared cause the car and insurance is under my dad's name and I don't want his rates going up for something stupid I did ."

gee nice. trying to get your GF who is a officer to cover up something you did. hope she gets in trouble and the lady you hit sues you.

 

[Lifted]

This probably won't matter, but did she have her turn signal on indicating that she was intending on pulling into the space?

You were really too close to her (you must have floored it?) if she was adjusting her car for parallel parking and you went all the way past the spot, from a dead stop, and hit her. You caused the accident, so leave it alone. As already mentioned, NY is a no fault state, so let the insurance companies work it out. Your rates will be going up anyway as a report was already filed.

Edit: Your fathers rates are going up. You dun goofed (bad)boy!

 

[Number1]

1: Learn to write english, your OP was terrible. You sound like a douche.
2: You rear ended her.
3: Her size or age has nothing to do with it. YOU are at fault.
4: The fact that there is no damage does not mean she did not get whiplash! I was rear ended a decade ago. There was no damage but I got mild whiplash and pain for a couple of weeks. I should have sued I guess but hey, I am Canadian.
5: If your dad is stupid enough to have you on his insurance, he can pay the higher premium when his rate goes up due to your stupidity. This is a common condition and I suffered from it for years. It's called youngdriverondad'sinsuranceitis. We had our son on our insurance and paid higher premium for 5 years after his 3rd accident.

Anyway, smarten up and stop blaming others for your mistakes. It's called consequences you dumb ass.

I don't have the report with me but I know for a fact that there was no damage cited to either cars by the police officer and that the woman did not go to the hospital, she just got checked by the paramedics.

You actually won't be the person sued, but your insurance company. NY is somewhat similar but more restrictive in its no-faultiness. I assume that NY actually requires that there be a real "injury" diagnosed by a doctor, and medical bills that were actually paid.

lol, how does cursing indicate I am an aggressive driver? I would say that proves I have emotions. I never once yelled or cursed at the woman while we were at the scene, I was the only one who wanted the situation to diffuse. The motorists behind me came and looked at the cars and yelled at the woman too for blowing the situation up for no reason.

The first thing that the cop said on the scene was "this is the accident?"

Basically I tried very hard to diffuse the situation but she thought she was getting some easy money. If she tries to sue and I have a choice I will fight it, no easy money for her.

You won't fight anything. She will file with your insurance company, they will ask for a police report and a statement from you. If they find you liable, they will settle with her for something no greater than your coverage, but something significantly less.

And who is your carrier? My vehicle was in an accident (pretty bad one; was being used by a friend). My insurance didn't go up one penny.

 

[darkewaffle]

Whatever happens, I recommend not calling her a "fat old bitch" in your official statement.

 

[Murloc]

if she had the turn signal on, you're at fault.

 

[badb0y]

My carrier is Geico.

Also I didn't even ask for the help from my girlfriend but since the accident was a block away from the precinct, she came to see what happened and immediately called her supervisor. The supervisor wanted to see the report to see if he can help me.

Also I have been driving for over a year and a half with a clean slate and this is my first ever accident. I don't drive recklessly and I beleive that there mistakes made on both sides. if there was car damage or medical injury I wouldn't mind her calling the cops and I would have nothing against her but this woman saw there was no damage to either of us and our cars yet still escalated the situation.

I just don't want her to pocket the money even though it seems like that's what she is trying to do. I don't care if she uses it for medical purposes caused by the accident, her car has no damage so I doubt she can claim that.

 

[DaWhim]

i don't know why you have to bother with this. you have insurance, right? problem solve, let them handle it for you, that's their job.

i do hope you have insurance

 

[HAL9000]

In "the land of the free" you can but not over here.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

OP... couldn't think of a way to not call her a bitch twice in your post? I kinda hope you get sued just because of your attitude. Plus, you rear ended her. It's your fault regardless.

 

[Axon]

Take this posting down. It's unlikely to be discovered, but it can be used against you.

Yes, you can be sued, but as indicated above, your insurance company has a duty to defend you in said suit; it's called subrogation. Basically, her insurance will pay out her damages and then sue your insurer for recovery. The only cost to you is an increase in your premiums. It's unlikely she will have any extensive physical damages to sue for. They'll claim it, so don't panic when it happens, but they will have trouble proving it.

In short, do nothing until something occurs. Also, stop trying to game the system, it makes you look dirty. You have good facts, assuming what you've said is entirely true. Still, I've won cases purely based on tricked up police records and such. Cops are not as slick as they think they are, and I've found reports filed on the same date with entirely different (e.g., more favorable) facts to one side over another. That's a killer right there. If you're gonna dupe a report, at least remember to throw out the original, jeez.

(1) what's an auxiliary cop?

(2) she can sue you. will she win? doesn't sound like a strong case. And an attorney must be desperate to take that case on the facts you presented.

crooked cops. I <3 NY!

 

[maziwanka]

i wouldn't worry. cross the bridge if/when it happens, but this is what car insurance is for too

so lets recap:
you aren't paying attention and rear end someone. you then post and call her names. You admit that your GF is trying to get her captain to "fix" the ticket.

yeap a quality couple if i ever seen one. you guys are perfect for each other!

lol

 

[arcenite]

Ticket fixing happens all the time. Sounds like some people are just jealous they don't have the option.

While there are certainly idiot drivers out there that love to stop in teh middle of traffic for seemingly no reason or very poor judgment--stopping way too far for a parking space and trying to force everyone to back up, stopping in the right most lane and trying to pull a U-turn into the far lane of a 4-lane avenue, stopping and cutting across 2 lanes to make a right turn (i live in Berkeley--I've seen it all! ),
it sounds like you were following too closely based on conditions and you're admitting that after she stopped, it wasn't until she started backing up that it was a problem.

How did you not see the white reverse lights on her car?


anyway, if you do have friends in the force and the paramedics/cops at the scene were on your side + lack of obvious damage, any kind of injury will be difficult for her to prove
the only problem will be actually reporting this to your insurance company. Perhaps too late, but that is what will cost you.

 

[zinfamous]

To clarify to my original post, she was trying to get into a parking spot along the sidewalk. She came back, then moved forward, then came back again. The collision happened the second time she moved back and by that time I had already started to accelerate. As soon as I saw her move back though I slammed the breaks but it was too close to her car.

.

OK, yeah. obviously your fault. Idiot driver. She may suck at parallel parking, but that doesn't give you the right to be an aggressive douchenozzle behind the wheel.

sigh. sniff..Whaa i had almost forgotten that Cutler sucked that game..whaaaa

:'(

 

[gimmewhitecastles]

For those that are saying OP was driving to close, this did take place in NY where cars are literally less than a foot away from each other in traffic. You can leave your passive driving skills to the suburbs but try that in the city, you are most likely going to get cut off or have continuous horns blasted behind you.

yeah, but the lady was trying to park. she backed up once, stopped, moved forward, then started backing up again. While backing up the second time, OP gunned his accelerator (maybe not gunned, but whatever), and ran into her b/c he's an impatient prick.

he was not boxed in in any way, b/c all he had to do was remain stopped. totally his fault.
