Hi guys,

Hindi ko alam if there's an existing thread to ask for legal advice or if this is the right thread. Can I ask for opinions/advices regarding my scenario.

Last Easter Sunday, I was involved in a car accident. I was driving along daang-hari coming from Emilio Aguinaldo going to Molino around 80kph. I was at the inner lane when all of a sudden there was this car who made a sudden U-Turn coming from the outermost lane. (facing the same direction of our car). I tried to step on the brake and sound the horn but to no avail, our cars collided. The bump of my car is on the right side of the front bumper while the other car is on the driver side. the driver of the other party got some stitches on the head.

Based on the police Investigator we were the one at fault because we were the one who hit the other car but we insist that we are not because they made a sudden U-Turn that's why we collided. The police reports only shows the outcome of the accident so we have no proof that the other car made a U-Turn without proper clearance and no signal.

Our stand was to have separate liabilities, the other party wants us to be the one responsible to all of the damages. They will file a reckless imprudence resulting to damage to property and serious physical injury...

Now here's the problem:
On our side:
My license was confiscated by the MAPSA on holy wednesday and I only got a ticketed License.
Our car is new and the car was release last March 8. The accident happened last April 8.
The adjuster of our insurance also claimed that we are also the one at fault base on the police report.



So any opinion regarding this matter, should we file counter charges against them even if one of the adjuster of the insurance claims that we're the one at fault.

Totoo ba na ang batas natin ay nagbabase talaga sa "kung sino ang nakabangga, sya ang may sala" system?

I need your advice guys.
