Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

accused falsely

My neighbor acrossed the street falsely accused me of backing out of my driveway and hit his car, which is parked on the other side of the street from my driveway. I am 100 percent certain that I nor any authorized operator of my vehicle hit his car. The neighbor did not witness the accident, yet he summoned police to question me if I have hit his car because there are dents in my car. These dents--predominantly on the side of the car--are from hits from other vehicles, ironically, while I parked on the street. The dent on his car is on the right rear of his SUV and it's pretty significant and high up on the chasse. My car is a sedan, and if I were to hit his car on the upper right side rear, I am not sure if this is possible, while backing up I would have damage on my rear right side of my car. There are no such damage anywhere on my car. Are there any legal recourse to his false accusations?

Re: accused falsely

There are several things you could do, but it I suggest that you actually speak to an attorney first. You may not need one, but you should speak to one.
