Question About A Car Accident Please Help?

I was involved in an accident on a state route highway. There were no witnesses and i was not cited for the accident. my claims representative called and said i was at fault. How can I be at fault if i was not cited? and with accidents on major highways does someone have to be cited? Please help me

You can be found at fault for an accident even if you aren't cited or given a ticket. Fault is determined by your insurance company and it is based on the actual facts of what happened in the accident. Just because an officer didn't cite you doesn't mean that you didn't cause an accident. There are many times when the police go to the scene of the accident on a freeway or highway and they don't give out citations or tickets to any of the parties. I suppose they figure that people in accidents have been through enough already.

Just because you did not get a ticket doesn't mean you did not cause the accident.

Geeez a little Naive are we?

no witness's? you must have hit something or run off road...so its your fault... what on the police report? no ticket doesnt mean your not at fault..

You do not need to get a ticket or a police report to be at fault for an accident. If you want you can post more details to get opinions on if the accident was your fault or not. You need to give the details of the accident.

did you or did you not caused the accident???

what exactly happened???

just because you didn't file a police report or got ticketed for wreckless driving doesn't mean you wasn't at fault....

driver's ed. 101...(did you have the right away?) or did the other person??

Police and tickets do not determine fault.

SOMEONE is at fault for every collision. So, are you saying the other guy was at fault, not you? If this is a single car collision, then there's only one person who CAN be at fault - the only driver involved in the accident.

Most states, if the vehicle is drivable and there are no injuries, you do not have to make a police report.

Do you happen to live in a no-fault state?
