I did that, took the other party to court after the insurance ruled 50-50. I wanted the OTHER HALF of the money due me outta her if thats the only way I could get it! NO insurance people showed up from EITHER side.

She told her story and LIED her butt off! Suddenly it dawned on me. IF it happened like she said there was NO WAY her car came to rest where it did. So I asked her only ONE question and I REALLY did ask it this way:

"When the smoke had cleared and the hub caps had quit rolling, WHERE was you car?" I then pointed out how that would be IMPOSSIBLE based on HER testimony. The Judge understood it easily. Nobody had ANY questions for me, it was obvious SHE was lieing.

Lesson learned? DON'T ever lie in court, get your FACTS straight. If he was in the left lane makeing a right turn, THATS where he was. Don't lie about it! Use the MITIGATING circumstances to build your case. Judges are VERY sharp people (generally speaking) they can understand the various issues. Sun in her eyes, possible speeding, etc. etc. MAYBE you'll get lucky and SHE will be "caught in a lie". Then it doesn't even matter what happened, she's done!
