Hi! So I had a car accident nov 2020. My car hydroplaned off the road ( not speeding) and came to a rest at a tree. A officer was a little ahead of me and immediately came to help me. He asked me what happened, I explained there was a large pool of water while driving my wheel locked and I could not turn to the opposing lane. my car started being pulled off to the side of the road.
A tow company that was not on my insurance came to get the car. And I was hysterical in the back seat of a friends car while this all happened she went out to take pictures for me of damages. I was shaken really bad about it and tried calling the tow company for my car and they were telling me over $1,000+ only two days of having my car. They told me I could not have my belongings because they were suing me and auctioning my car. I had a lot of personal belongings in my car still. So I never paid it, a friend of my families told me my insurance could pay storage fees but couldn’t guarantee the car being there after a year which I was fine with.
So I spoke with my insurance I have comprehensive and roadside. They told me they could definitely pay it. I guess after finding out the amount after the year they are changing their mind saying it’s a “ astronomical amount”. So I’m being investigated they got a verbal statement from me as well as a emailed and police report.
On the report the officer said he confirmed my statement of what happened due to him witnessing it. He confirmed by my car the wet grass and mud showed I “ gently faded off into the right soft shoulder” and rested at a tree including he saw there was a large pool of standing water in my lane. As well as he witnessed the entire accident and that it was a hydroplane accident. They are trying to say I lost control and that it is a collision, claiming I ran into the tree but it was due to weather. I’m not sure what to expect all I wanted was the tow fees paid like I was promised.
They even were telling me they would get my car back if it’s on the tow lot. They had me schedule a adjustor and then completely blindsided me. I have heard nothing back since sending a police report and have called many of times. Any ideas on what could happen?
