Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maryland
I was in a car accident and it happened do fast that i am not sure of exactly everything that happened. When police arrived on the scene i was hardly acknmowledged they went over to the other two cars and after a few minutes 1 officer out of about 5 came up to me. No one asked me for a statement or a story of what happened just the other two male drivers. i was injured and while sitting in the er with a bloody face an officer came up to me and asked if i think i can recall what happened. i tried to explain to him to the best of my knowledge what happened but before i could get anywhere with my sory he cut me off and began to laugh and said no thats not what happened. basicaslly saying that he already got statement from tyhe opther two drivers so what i was saying was a lie. they are trying to say that its my fault w/o even hearing my side of the story. can they do that? can i sue even if theyre saying its my fault?

You may sue the other two drivers, even if the police report states that it was your fault. The police report is simply that -- a report of what the drivers claim happened. It is not "proof" of anything.
With that said, I cannot comment specifically on your case. I STRONGLY recommend that you speak with a Maryland personal injury attorney about the specifics of your case and your odds of success PRIOR to filing a lawsuit.
Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
The police report in not admissible as evidence in a Maryland Court. Neither is the police officer's opinion. You need to discuss the details of your case with an attorney, who will then be able to advise you of how to proceed. You should do this immediately, before the other side files against you.
