My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Arizona
Family member was traveling down a two lane road with center median hashed. Driver in front, was way under the speed limit. So family member signaled and passed on the left, only to find out that the vehicle that used to be in front of them now started to speed up not letting them over. Family member tried to slow down, and vehicle kept pace. Now looking ahead vehicle coming in the other lane heading right for them. So family member guns it to get back in lane, and other vehicle also does. Family member barely gets back in lane and then loses control, swerving (tires broke loose) and spinning in lane. Ended up hitting the vehicle that originally would not let them pass. Minor damage to offending vehicle. Family members vehicle is pretty bad. Offender at scene admits to multiple witnesses that they intentionally sped up to not let family member back into lane.
Police show up and the offending vehicle driver admits that they sped up to not let family member pass. Cop says that does not concern him and cites family member with reckless driving.
Now offending driver, who originally said they did not feel any injury, is now saying they do.
I believe that family member should get a lawyer, which is my question. Does this case sound like offending driver was at fault? Legally what would be options, including counter suit, and why did the cop say he did not care that the other driver sped up purposely causing the accident? Thanks!
