In hindsight I am confident that she feels the same. Just a a snap judgment based on the fact that she could not see any damage. She really regrets the situation now and has been depressed all afternoon. We always try to do the right thing in these situations, but I guess you miss one sometimes.

Sorry if my first post was portrayed as challenging, but I ,as Blueface stated, see a lot of situations where people just won't "man up" to a situation that they created. Not saying that is what happened with your Wife, I wasn't there, that is just the point of view that I have developed in my chosen career. Once again I'm not trying to challenge your wife's claims, I wasn't there.

Hindsight is 20/20 my Friend , we all would have done things differently at times if we could do them over again. That being said, "it is what it is", now you just have to deal with it. If charges are brought down then you will definitely want the pictures from that report to see what they are claiming happened from this crash. If she says there was no damage then that is exactly what she should tell the judge (if it even gets to that point). If there was damage (which is what the claim is) and she truly didn't see it then it was just a mistake and hopefully the judge will see it that way and be lenient.

My advise to you would be to be apologetic through the entire ordeal and definitely not have attitude with the Police Officer (warranted or not). Because the charges have to originate from him, so he's not the guy you wanna piss off right now. Just let the insurance companies work it out, trust me, they won't just pay off the damage if they feel it wasn't from this situation.

Hope it helps Bro and I also hope it works out for the best.

You have to be careful with things like this, the other party could go as far as claiming their transmission was damaged because your wife pushed their vehicle backwards while it was in park. Best thing to do is leave a note to cover your rear, hope all works out though.
