Just remember that when I was hit by a truck recently, and insisted on a police report...the officer wrote ME a ticket and assumed I was at fault. He did not write an accident report, and after two court visits and a dramatic , overblown hearing with a dim prosecutor and strict judge (who feels bicycles in the street are unsafe)...I finally won my case.
I am non-litigous as well, but damn... In my opinion, try to keep the facts to you and your lawyer. You could get burned. The driver could even sue
you.
I'm still in negotiations to get my hospital bills, bike,and missed income replaced. Fingers crossed, eyes open.
