I had a dog strike on the 5th of Dec. How do I know if I was charged with an accident? center manager said you bet your being charged , but no warning letter? I feel this was unavoidable as it was a small dog and we had ten inches of snow that day, I tried avoiding by putting in the ditch, no damage to car just caught dog with front tire. center manager said take pics , I refused as I chose not to use my cell phone. I had a safety ride 5 days later for only 20min and center manager did not come out to investigate for about six days by this time all the snow was plowed and conditions were changed. Any advice would be great. I am 5 years in and have a rural run. there are only two of us out of the building so we are really exploited sometimes for not knowing what to file on. This just doesn't feel right.
Can I win?

We get charged if we are on private property. Not if dog is in public roadway. Had a guy get charged with hitting a small white dog that ran over a snow bank and under his tire in a driveway. Another not get charged with a Shepard chasing the truck on road and going under read wheels.

Personally I don't believe hitting a dog in the street should be chargeable period. You were lucky to just end up in a ditch from swerving to avoid a dog. I'm not saying don't attempt to brake in the safest way possible for conditions to keep from hitting the dog. But if an uncontrolled animal of any type be it dog/ deer/cat or squirrel jumps on a roadway in front of my package car if I can't stop in time it's road kill.

Whenever you think you can't win arch the scene from rocky where he's running through the streets and they're playing that song getting strong now. It always fires me up.

No problem, the safety ride Is normally the next day. I wouldnt worry about it. If its in your file I would file on it. If you didn't or haven't received discipline dont worry about it. I would want to know if its in my file or not.
