I was recently returning from Santo Domingo on the new highway and on one of the little dirt feeder roads a beat up truck was waiting to cross left to right. He was waiting, I assumed for me, to pass. Right about the time I was to the crossing he began pulling out. I laid on the brakes and horn but it was too late and I plowed into his right side door. The police came and towed my truck to the toll booth and took us both to the Monte Plata police for the report. We both gave our testimonies and we were on our way, more or less.
Fast forward and I'm at Pepin insurance company in Santo Domingo with all the paperwork, I live in Cabrera. They read the police report and say that it doesn't say SPECIFICALLY who's fault it was so I will need to go find their client and take him to the judge in Monte Plata and get a acta de conaliacion with him claiming it was his fault. Now this seems crazy of course since I was on the highway and he was crossing. I'm also thinking that he's probably not going to be willing to do this.
I can't afford to spend days tracking this guy down so what are my options? Get a lawyer I'm guessing.
