HELP!, my car was hit by a police cruiser Options

[nics]

while i was on my way home last night with my brother and my cousin, cruising to a stop then suddenly a car hit me on the driver side and then i realized that it was a police cruiser. he beat the red light continued driving 3 more blocks. called 911 and cops came in. thank God no one was hurt.

they told me that the cruiser was malfuntioning because of the gadgets hooked up in the car. the cruiser came from an alley, my cousin noticed it but i didnt because i didnt see any lights on including the siren. this happened around 9pm. the one driving the cruiser told the investigating officer that he was parked at the corner of the alley, he was applying his brakes then suddenly his car revved just like that and when the time that he hit my car, he said he put it in parking gear. I DONT KNOW IF ALL HE SAID WAS POSSIBLE!

i called my insurance and let them know what happened. the investigating officer told me that it was definitely not my fault and the insurance would take care of it.

i dont know what to do now...
im really pissed off!
seems like i would sue them!

any advice or help from you guys? thanks

I'm not reading through all of this. So if this was said already disregard it.


WHY does everyone automatically want to sue people. I'm so sick of frivolous lawsuits just because someone THINKS they should do something.

This is an insurance issue. The police already told you that it was not your fault and you called your insurance company. Wait until the insurance company assess the damages to your car and then gives you whatever they think you are entitled to to fix it.

To everyone who chimed in to "sue" please don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about.

You sue someone if an amicable solution to a problem cannot be reached out of court. In this case there is no reason to sue inasmuch as you've already contacted your insurance company to pay for the damages to your car.

IF the police car hit you and then claimed it was your fault THEN you could sue.

Sorry if that came off harsh but i've been in the legal field for 4+ years now and no one seems to understand that suing someone is supposed to be the last resort not the first thing you do.

Edit: Please keep pointless responses to this in your head and not here. I don't want to deal with it. If you have an educated response by all means post it.
