My partner was turning left, as she has the right away. However, another car turned left and hit her on the rear driver’s side damaging both the rear door and tire. Yet, she received the ticket because the cop said the other driver had a witness saying that she had a green light. Despite there being no one besides the other driver and my partner along with the four teenager passengers she was transporting to school, the cop is indicating that the other driver said she had an independent witness. Also, he misquoted my partner’s statement. Given that we know the town is well-known for backwoods antics, what is the worst case scenario given that my partner and I do not reside under the same address and she is not listed on my insurance? She is devastated asking how can such an injustice occur and wondering what can happen to me? Thanks in advance!

21750 POINTSview profileJim WinklerCEO/Owner, Winkler Financial Group, Houston, TexasI am very sorry to hear about your partners rough morning! I am glad that she and her passengers are ok. Unfortunately, I'm sure that you have a pretty good idea of what the worst case scenario will be - she is an at fault motorist involved in an accident, she is not an insured in your car, your insurance company refuses to pay, and you are stuck with the repair bill, and she gets a ticket. It may work out that if you go to court, and she is able to prove that the other driver was at fault, that you may be able to file a claim against them, and maybe recoup some of your losses. Your best bet is to contact your agent, explain what happened, and ask for their advice on how to proceed. Good luck! If there is any way that I can help, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for asking!Answered on April 21, 2014flag this answer
