Our car was hit by yellow cab driver, who started to do left turn and then changed his mind when my husband was driving straight. (this car was in front of our, cleared the way and then made this "left-right" maneuver) The driver gave us his info after a long argument and left. The police came only after 3 hours (three calls to 911 and to 311) and refused to give us a police report, claiming that if other driver left giving his info, they don't have to do it, we have to file it ourselves. We called a lawyer (our friend) while police was at the scene, but policemen refused to talk to him. What are our steps now? First we file an accident report, but how can we make the insurance of driver at fault to pay for a damage. Our lawyer is very skeptical of this claim, because the police action.
