: Remeber that little Brush up Alice and I had up in Canada a few weeks ago?
: well, today I recieved a letter stating that "their investigation shows that I am responsible..." yadda yadda yadda...
: What I want to know is WHAT INVESTIGATION????
: Needless to say I have a 'nicely worded" letter in the works...
Hey Paulie, this happens to be an area where I may be of assistance. I need to know who in Canada sent the letter, was it the police or the insurance co. of the other guy. If it was from the police, it is not necessary that they do all the neat crime scene stuff like on t.v. For example, if someone was coming off a side street with a stop sign, it would be obvious who was at fault...no pictures need. I remember you said he came out of nowhere for the collision...something like that. On the other hand, if his insurance co. sent the letter, your best hope is your own insurance co., by the way , what did your insurance co. say? I hope you didn't send a nasty letter yet...your best course would be to contact the "investigating officer" and get his reasoning, he is probably your best bet, yet when it comes down to paying for the damages, insurance company lawyers have the ultimate say. And NO, I am not a lawyer. Good luck, let me know how it comes out....WEST
