I got 7, yes 7 tickets for an alleged hit and run that I have absolutely no clue what it is about. I was on the road the date, around the time, and around the mile marker of the alleged accident but I was never involved, nor have any knowledge of the (or any) accident.
Upon learning of the tickets I immediately took my vehicle to the police station that was responsible for issuing the tickets and had a police report filed that there was absolutely no damage to my vehicle. I had to hire a lawyer, take time off work and stress about this for a month now(and counting). I just went to court for my not guilty plea Tuesday.
When all these allegations are dropped can I sue this driver for my lawyer fees, loss of income, for time off work, or anything else? I believe this to be some kind of scam although I can not put my finger on exactly how it works. All I know is the cop issued 7 tickets on behalf of the driver of the vehicle that alleges I hit them.
I have no points on my license and also I hold a CDL which I would lose my job if I lose my license.
Also how do I get this drivers name and address so I can sue him?
I don't really even care about the money I just don't want this guy getting away with this and doing it to other people!
The 7 tickets were for: (not proper names)
1. leaving the scene
2. unsafe driving
3. reckless driving
4. improper lane change
5. causing a traffic jam ( this one has me lol ing)
6. leaving the scene with causing property damage
7. I forget the 7th
