Reply to comment by vexingsilence in Plow truck hit me and plowed me off the road in Manchester NH and it’s the plows fault and the police report says so, but some lady in an office sent me a letter and said it’s 51% my fault and they’ll pay nothing, my 2016 Ford Fusion is destroyed and I’m in debt. I What can I do? by Vegetable_Medium_458

You’re absolutely right, while my shit was lapsed me I was commuting to work four minutes away or not, I was risking being sued and financially demolished if I hit anyone anyways, I went four days with no insurance, Irresponsible of me but I literally just couldn’t afford it at the time I don’t drink alcohol or do drugs or smoke anything at all I try hard to make ends meet

Not suggesting you would, but you can end up with an at-fault through no fault of your own. Been there, done that. Unless you have video evidence or an army of witnesses, cops will assign blame according to however they feel was most likely the cause, regardless of what actually happened.

For example, if you were in reverse at the time of a collision, you're almost certainly at fault regardless of what the other motorist was doing. Which is insane.
