Do not give any statement to the adverse party or insurance company nor grant them access to any medical records. Photograph the injuries and the damage done to any property. Contact a personal injury attorney in your area as soon as possible so that you can protect your rights. You may also find it helpful to review the Legal Guides I have published on .com dealing with many of the issues you are now facing. The Guides can be accessed through my profile page on .com. The tickets issued to the adverse driver should be of less concern than seeing to it that your daughter is appropriately treated medically and that the adverse party compensates her for her injuries. The tickets are generally not admissible against the adverse driver should you bring a personal injury claim on your daughter's behalf. Speak with an attorney ASAP.

Howard Robert Roitman 5 stars 4 reviews Rating Not Displayed Car Accident Lawyers Reveal number tel: (702) 631-5650 Call Profile Posted on Nov 3, 2012 How do the police recommend that criminal charges be filed against someone? A. Criminal cases go through a screening process before a defendant faces charges in court. This is a two-step process that begins with the police inquiry. The investigating officer (or another officer superior to the arresting officer) will review the arrest report. That officer will determine whether there is enough evidence to recommend filing charges against the arrested person. If the officer decides not to recommend filing charges, then the police will release the arrested person from jail. If the officer decides to recommend that a charge be filed, a prosecutor (usually from the prosecuting or district attorney's office) will review the officer's recommendation. Based on the arrest report and any follow-up investigation, the prosecutor's office will decide whether to file charges and what criminal offenses to allege. These allegations will appear in a complaint (affidavit or information) filed in the court clerk's office. Who Exercises Discretion These criminal justice officials must often decide whether or not or how to: Police • Enforce specific laws • Investigate specific crimes • Search people, areas, buildings • Arrest or detain peopleHow do the police investigate crimes?. When the police receive a report of a crime (such as a home burglary in progress), they send investigating officers to the scene as soon as they can. If the officers arrest a suspect, they will transport that person to the police station for booking. The officer will write an arrest report, detailing when and why the officer went to the scene, along with any observations, and why the officer arrested the suspect. The officer also will fill out a property report, detailing what items (for example, drugs or cash) the police found on the suspect during booking. The officer also will list any items of evidence found at the scene, such as tools the suspect might have used to gain access to the home. If the crime is complex or serious, the police then assign an investigating officer (usually a detective) to the case. That officer will make a return visit to the crime scene, look for more evidence, and interview any other witnesses. If the police have not arrested anyone, the detective will analyze the evidence and try to narrow down the list of suspects. The detective will question suspects and sometimes will obtain a confession.
