There’s a lot of experience here, so I’ll try for thoughts on this situation:
I was doing field work with my tractor at night and saw the neighbor’s dog standing in the middle of the road. Before I could get to the dog a speeding car struck it. Dog flew about 250 ft. Driver pulled over and was ok, but air bag deployed and car had some bumper damage. Driver never saw the dog and never applied the brakes. A cop happened upon the scene. The driver asked for a police report. After making sure everyone was ok, the cop wanted nothing to do with the situation and stated it was a “non-reportable incident.”
A few weeks later my neighbor receives a letter from the driver’s insurance company requesting the information for the neighbor’s homeowner’s insurance to bill a few thousand dollars. Letter also stated that not responding to the letter would be considered acknowledgement of guilt and responsibility of charges.
I told my neighbor they should contact a lawyer before doing anything. My opinion a speeding driver is just as responsible for hitting something on the road, especially since it was stationary, not running out onto the road.
This could have happened to me if a cow got out. I do have insurance though. Anyone have thoughts or experiences on this?
