Legal news for automobile accident attorneys. Police departments are considering implanting restrictive policies for police pursuits.
Automobile accident attorneys alert- High-speed police pursuits are leaving innocent bystanders dead due to crashes.
West Palm Beach, FL—One-third of people killed in a high-speed police chase are innocent bystanders, which have numerous communities across the nation pondering the idea of restricting such deadly pursuits. The USA Today review uncovered the shocking statistics in a recent report.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) nearly 360 people are killed every year in police-related pursuits. A University of South Carolina criminology professor, Geoffrey Alpert, says the actual rate of fatalities are “three or four times higher,” because bystanders who are killed after police have stopped chasing suspects are not counted, even it happened within seconds of ending the pursuit. Alpert says, 35 percent to 40 percent of all police chases result in crashes.

Ami asked:
I was in an auto accident, the police came but didn’t make a report because we both said we weren’t hurt and all she had was a small crack in the bumper. we are both insured but she didn’t want to go through insurance. I tapped her bumper from behind because she made a right turn and once I saw it was clear I made my right turn on a green light. As soon as I turned the corner she was stopped there and I couldn’t stop my car in time so I hit her bumper. The police said it was minor under $400 in damages on her 2000 mitsubishi gallant, her estiamte came to $578 plus rental car total of $656. My dad won’t let me claim with insurance he thinks we will lose our discounts. Should I have a lawyer review my claim relase form I’m sending to her to sign before I pay her? I got a claim release from off a legal form website…I’m worried this lady is shady, but we can’t afford increased premiums. I have Geico in CA, does anyone know there claim threshold for surcharges?
I was not driving fast for road conditions…Se slammed on her brakes and stopped for no apparent reason, I never drive fast and I don’t tailgate this was just an unfortunate accident
