Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
My friend was in an accident shown here http://www.flickr.com/photos/58215818@N04/5348027365/ . No one was hurt. The police came to the scene but refused to make a report.
Miss Redcar claims the right-turn lane begins as soon as the road widens and that she had the right of way (she intended to turn at the traffic light just south of the posted picture).
My friend Bluecar claims the right-turn lane doesn't begin until 200 feet from the intersection (the widening of the road begins approximately 350 feet from the light and the painted arrows on the road that indicate a 'turning lane' begin about 200 feet from the light). By his argument she was not in a proper lane and thus she was at fault.
Now Mr. Bluecar's insurance is asking for a written report. Since the police haven't made one they want him to write something himself. However he's not sure what to write. Does he have a legal leg to stand on?

Never give signed or recorded statements to the other party's insurance company, only to your own. If there are no injuries and it is only an issue of property damage, make a claim under your own insurance and let the insurance companies fight over who is at fault. If your company wins in inter-insurance arbitration, you get your deductible back. If you have no collision coverage, then you can go to Small Claims Court if the damage is less than $7,500.
