Last week, I was involved in a road incident. I was on my way home from Filinvest to Las Pinas. Traffic wasnt heavy but there was a slight build-up that time, incident happened near Mcdonalds along Alabang-Zapote road a little past 10PM. I was driving my Honda City and on my front is a Toyota Innova. Medyo slow moving ang mga sasakyan when suddenly instead of accelerating, pa-atras si Innova. I realiized na mababangga ako so busina nako ng busina until the Innova collided with my Honda City. My wife was first to approach them and driver of the Innova and his wife was apologizing, they are explaining how they are lost and they are trying to "waze" their way home to Mandaluyong. Finally, policemen arrived at the scene but they said hindi daw sila yung investigator sa mga road incidents. So we waited for the investigator until another policeman arrived saying that madami daw trabaho yung investigator so we have to bring the cars sa HQ nila which is near Petron sa Southstation Muntinlupa.

When we were there, ayan na. Iba na ang story nila, Their statement was that bigla na lang daw silang na hit sa likod. Of course, ang statement ko is kung ano ang tunay na nangyari,

Also, on a side note, hindi marunong magsulat at magbasa yung driver ng Innova so he had to be helped by the staff dun sa police HQ. I wonder how he was able to obtain a driver's license,,

So back to the incident, since the damage is not that Major and yung driver ng Innova is not admitting that he is at fault plus I think madami ding shortcoming ang investigator para makapag conclude kung sino nga ba ang nasa tama, my wife and I decided na, idadaan na lnag sa insurance since insured naman ang sasakyan. But to our surprise, the other party was saying na magdedemanda sila dahil sila daw ang binangga, at madami naman daw silang relatives na abogado.


need your advices po on what to do if they push through sa pag demanda. As for me, I dont have the fund right now para mag demanda din. Nakakalungkot lang isipin na ikaw na yung agranyado , babaligtarin pa ngayon na ikaw daw ang "at fault".
you don't have a fund right now so you're here asking for our advice.

the way i look at it, you have a legal problem which you need a legal representation. no amount of advice can get you out from the mess you are in right now except you engage the services of a competent counsel.

you drive a Honda city (is it brand new?), most probably you cannot get the services of the public attorney's office because you can hardly be considered a pauper litigant.

my advice goes something like this, you file a criminal case against the driver for reckless imprudence resulting to damage to property. go to the police station and ask the police to file it for you. this is to give you leverage against the Innova owner or driver. you don't need a lawyer at this point because you have the prosecutor's office of the place where the crime was committed to represent for you.
