Can a police officer give traffic tickets 6 months after an accident only after the "victim" has filed a civil suit?

Your situation is too involved for an online answer. The long list of things in the complaint might be allegations of negligence in that pleading. Using the written documentation you have is a good place to begin. Contact a local lawyer - many may give you a free consultation - to discuss your specifics. Far too many variables exist in the short post you wrote for any further observation by me. Many attorneys have information posted here on .

You need a lawyer. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details. Good luck to you. God bless.
