We'd be happy if it ended up with each party paying their own damage. At least she'd be more careful when driving.
Yeah, so we might actually have a witness who overheard the lady telling the cops that my dad suddenly stopped (not reversed), we have to talk to him again to make again. I'm calling the police station tomorrow to try and get the officer name. We also talked to Allstate, they are denying the claim and the lady said that the two witnesses story seemed a little fishy. She might take my dad to small claims court, but we're hoping she wont if she realizes we can probably ask the cop to testify, ask for the black box records, her cell phone record (can we ask for this?), and we have witnesses that can testify that her two witnesses arrived after the crash (they may have seen it from far, but they claimed they were there when the cops arrived, two witnesses can testify that this was not the case). The pictures may not help much.. and it's unfortunate that we do not have any witnesses who saw the actual crash. At this point my dad isn't worried so much about the money, he's just mad that this lady seems to be lying.
I still wonder why the other couple would testify that he reversed into her.. the logic just doesn't make sense. Why would anyone reverse on a main street for no reason (he wasn't parking, there was no turn he could have missed nearby). Maybe they're trying to argue that he missed a driveway? Does anyone know if we can ask the company to provide the witnesses testimony?
