the when the cops arrived a neighbor got involved and started telling the cops she'd seen everything and it was all my fault. only problem was this neighbor arrived at her house **after** the accident happened, but before the cops. the whole police report got distorted because of her lies. it was a huge uphill battle, requiring me to personally go to the neighbors house and call her a filthy liar to her face, and making some dubious claims about how i had a helmet cam and can prove she wasn't home at the time of the accident, and how harsh of a sentence perjury carries.
what a nightmare, though. people will do anything to get out of taking responsibility for an accident, even when insurance is paying for it.
Yeah, that sucks! I always figured if i was in a moto accident it is bound to be the other person's fault ... but reality of liability unfortunately deviates from pure theory.
