If I was in a car accident the other night after work and now I’m out of a truck and have no transportation, is there any way that I can pursue legal action?
I swerved to miss a guy in a van who was parked in the south bound lane of the road that I was traveling on; he was waiting for his kid to come out of the YMCA. He had no flashers on anything. It’s a single lane road.- one lane for northbound and one lane for southbound. I swerved to miss him but hit a mail box and smahed into a telephone pole. The cops did not site him as at-fault on the police report even though he admitted to them that what he was doing there parked.

Assuming you have insurance for your vehicle that has been damages, I suggest that you immediately consult with your insurance carrier to see if you have coverage (and a rental car rider) at your disposal. I also suggest consulting with a personal injury attorney in your locality as to a possible action against the person who caused the accident and your damages. One in your locality can be found on attorneypages.com.
