“Dear PoPville,

Question about car crahses in DC. Apparently the DC cops don’t come to fender benders or other accidents unless someone needs medical attention and an ambulance needs to be called.

I was not at fault and it took 4 months for the other party to make up a lie about hitting my car and now my insurance is liable to pay even though not at fault.

What has anyone else experienced in this situation? I called the cops after the accident and was told to simply go through insurance and then that backfired.”
