My daughter was injured the other night in a car accident. She was traveling west on Dorr Street, approaching Detroit. She had the Green light, a car that was stopped (I believe she said stopped) was going east quickly turned in front of her, she hit her breaks, she missed that car but hit the car that followed behind it, a police car. Head on collision. He did not have his lights or sirens on. The accident investigator came to take my daughters statement in the hospital, he made no mention of citations issued. When I asked about it, he stated none were going to be issued, but that his report would state that the officer was at fault.
I pulled up the report and I can't find where it says that he was at fault. And I do see a witness report, which was the kind man who called me to tell me my daughter was in the accident. When I asked him for details he stated to me that he happened upon the accident after it had already happened, he didn't know.
I have had so many people tell me that my daughter will be taken care of for life now because the city is liable for her injuries. She has a broken knee cap. Possible more injuries but her body is so swollen.
Then on the other hand I was told that the City isn't liable for injuries caused by police. He was not in pursuit of anyone, nor where there sirens and/or lights.
Does anyone know?
p.s. I also found it funny how all the news reports reflected that she was responsible.
