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

deff give them the chance to make it right, sueing them is in my opinion a waset of time your money, their budget and the citys tax dollers, also imo unjustified, they said it was not your fault so your issurance rates will not go up, it is not legal for them to raise your rates unless your at fault.

Its not up to your issurance to cover any of the cost, its the police departments issurance that will cover it, and probably cover it pretty well. get a rental right away or charge for bus/taxi whatever, and clame the real value of your car (extra parts included,) when my civic was totaled I clamed every aftermarket part (had to have recipts for it all which I did) and they paid for it all, I left out a few things that I was able to pull from the car with no issues, thus I got what I feel was the real value of the car. and got the check in 2 weeks including loss of wedges because i was out of work for a week, and due to my age (total bs imo) they were not able to get me a rental so my dad "rented" his extra car to me for a resonable cost which they covered.

Point is, give the system a chance to make it right, the nicer you are about it to them the happier they are to deal with you and do right by you. you get angree then they dont want to deal with you.

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.

kinda funny I dont see moderator under tina's name but I do agree.
