I was involved in a rear end accident with UPS semi truck and was given a unsafe speeding ticket (due to the weather/Icy roads) and my car is totaled.

I was placed in the back of the state troopers car and written the ticket with little to no involvement in explaining how the accident occured. I went to court and fought the ticket for the unsafe speeding without an attorney as I was confident it was not my fault since I was clearly clipped or rear ended and have pictures to prove it. The prosecutor dismissed the ticket on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence since the roads were icy and my vehicle was totaled. I have yet to file a claim since I was advised by my principle agent to do it with an attorney since the accident was declared my fault. The accident occured in 02/06/2013. This is my first accident and have even received a safe driving bonus check from Allstate. The last traffic violation I have received was 3 years ago.
