QUESTION
Who is right if only one person remembers the accident?
Asked on Aug 12th, 2013 on Personal Injury - California
More details to this question:
I was in an accident and I hit my head. I do not remember what happened exactly in the accident. I was taken by ambulance and was unable to give a statement to the police. The other driver gave a statement and I feel that it is wrong and all the blame is pointing to me. Even the police report says it’s my fault, but I don't remember because I hit my head and I didn't give a statement. It was a three-car accident, and I was in the middle. The damage to the vehicles looks like I was pushed from behind into the other lane. But the police report and driver behind me says differently. What do I do?

Why do you people keep trying to adjust your own claims? tell your insurance co what happened and they will adjust the claim. It is not for you to worry about.

If you have insurance, let your insurer handle it. The insurer will investigate the accident and decide whether to pay the claim or to fight any claim.

You should consider consulting a car accident attorney. Further investigation into the accident and an accident reconstructionist may be able to rebut the other driver's story.

Turn the claim over to your insurance company and they will assign you a lawyer. Let the lawyer and insurance company worry about it.

Retain an attorney. You hurt your position by claiming you do not remember anything. Thus, you are in no position to challenge any of the statements.

It sounds like this might be a 3 car rear end accident, and you were in the middle car. Is that correct. What does the car driver in front say about the accident. If the driver in front only felt one impact that is likely helpful to you. Sometimes, the amount of damage to all of the cars can assist an expert in determining how the accident happened.
