thanks to those who replied on this thread. I think it is much better not to post any pic for private reason, hope you guys understand.

There are no third party witnesses as we may say(tambay sa lugar) since DaangHari is a Hi-way. There are no CCTV cameras along the road also. The only witnesses that I have are my passengers. Our "Sinumpaang Salaysay" is the only written documents both the drivers have to tell the story, but the police investigator told us that the document will only serve a great evidence in court.

sabi mo may stitches yung nabangga mo... so nasa hospital sya? kung ganon.. talo ka... kasi nasa hospital sya eh..

ganito technic.. pag na involve sa ganyan accident at walang aamin.. 1st thing to do is sabihin sa police investigator na mag punta na lang sa presinto at doon mag usap... pero ikaw wag ka pupunta ng presinto.. mag pa confine ka sa isang kilalang hospital.. sa kaso mo pwede ka sa ASIAN hospital (hindi pwede pumasok pulis dyan). 2nd na gagawin mag papunta ng kamag anak or kaibigan sa presinto bilang representative mo at doon mag file ka ng kaso sa pulis... kung mag file ng kaso yung isa mag file ka din mag counter file kayo ng case.. sa ganyang sitwasyon.. parehas kayo makukulong! right?? eh since nasa hospital ka.. hindi ka makukulong at hospital arrest kasi nga bawal sa asian ang pulis... so ikaw rest ka lang dun sa asian. tapos next day ka na mag piyansa (bail out) tapos sa court na kayo magkikita....

hindi ba covered ng insurance pag ikaw may kasalanan? sagutin mo na lang participation para less hassle.

In general, striking vehicle is at fault unless the other party comitted violations (i.e. expired license/registration, illegal turns, etc.). From your story, the other driver sustained injury so you must have been driving pretty fast and hit the other vehicle at a speed no less than 30 kph. There must be skid marks somewhere and if it is noted in the police report, the more difficult for you to defend your position. My advise is to let your insurance handle everything and you pay the participation fee. Daang-hari is a dangerous road with no traffic lights, signs and clear lane indicators. Bite the bullet and take it as a learning experience. HTH.

V1 = ours
V2 = the other party

V1 driving in the inner lane of daang-hari around 80kph tops from point A to point B. When V2 on the outmost lane (grass part) suddenly made a turn making a U-Turn in a grass isle without proper signal nor hazzard. V2 is also facing the same as V1(facing point B) when it made a sudden U-Turn that made the collision.

So just imagine that there was a parked car in the grass part when it just move and made a U-Turn when you were fast approaching (since 80kph is fast) without proper signal and clearance. What will you do when you're two or three cars away from collision?

V2 is not on the other lane. It is the parallel lane as mine. nakita ko sya sa outermost thought it was parked since nasa outside sya ng road.

MAPSA ticket was been given ng holy wednesday sa Makati ako naticketan. The incident happen ng Sunday

so natakbo siya from your right side, biglang kumaliwa para mag u-turn nang bigla-bigla, walang signal.
kaya ayun, na-hit mo siya sa driver's side.

So you mean kahit defensive pagdridrive mo at may driver na biglang nag-Uturn sa harap mo ibig sabihin fault mo pa rin dahil nasugatan sya sa banggaan nyo kahit na ang dahilan ay improper turn ang ginawa niya?
