    I know 2 people that this has happened to... Its purely a money grab attempt... It Will be imperative that your version of the events is exactly what it says in the original report from when It happened... If it deviates enough they will try to say you are lying. This is exactly why I keep an "Incident Notebook" in which I write down my account of ANY incidents that I may be involved in, I write this information down as soon as possible after the incident as I can... Then I sign and date it. If I am ever questioned about an incident I will not say anything until I have that notebook in my hamds and can read my original account word for word... This way you dont forget any details, as they are already wrote down.

    Do you bother reading?

    Better to keep quiet and let people think you’re stupid, rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt
     
    npok, dunchues, 86scotty and 2 others Thank this.

    He said he reported it, but who he reported it to his dispatcher?
    If he called the police and reported a hit and run and got a police report he would be sleeping well tonight.
    Yes me so stupid.

    Police report or no people can still attempt to pin you with a lawsuit... Ive seen it happen, and a good attorney can make them stick if you dont have your ducks in a row.

    To clear up any doubt on WHO it was reported to, I called local PD, then informed dispatch. Waited for PD to arrive on scene at which point she left. Yes. Left in the vehicle that was "totaled beyond repair." Worked for that company up until May of this year. Had heard nothing of it since date of occurence until today at 820 pm.
     
    Hammer166 and Lepton1 Thank this.

    Were you still employed with the company? I quit in May and have since been hauling fuel for another.
