I need some help figuring out if I’m being discriminated against.

Here’s my story:

I go around a blind corner on a major highway in the rain. I am going under the speed limit. I then see a parked semi, with no lights on. No blinker, hazard lights, or break lights. I try to stop, but since the road was really wet, I couldn’t stop in time. My compact car collides with the back of a semi. Now, I actually manage to walk out of the car. Minor miracle. The trucker calls state police. The trooper shows up and talks to everybody but me, but that was understandable since I was going into shock. He calls an ambulance and I go to the hospital. The trooper even stops by the hospital to drop off some items I left at the scene, but I miss him because I’m in x-ray.

Now, the fun part. I get a copy of the preliminary report. I’m shocked to begin with, since the trooper never spoke to me. Then I realize that the woman who was right behind me, and saw that the semi lights were off, is not mentioned as a witness. Then I realize the report says I wasn’t injured. I was taken to the hospital, where I was treated for sprained joints and shock. And the trooper knew that. The trooper even gets the make of my car wrong.

Now, I’m trying to get things worked out. I get the run around when I try to get a hold of the trooper. So, I emailed the state patrol saying that I wanted to fix the report, because it isn’t fair. I get no response. So, I email asking who I file a complaint with, and the captain emails me back. He tries to smooth things over, but there is still no change. Now he’s sending me emails, calling me by my first name, treating me like a child. In fact, everyone is treating me like I just don’t know how the world works. I am not an idiot. I understand that there is a shortage of troopers in the state. But, if there is time to email me or call me and explain the crisis, why isn’t it used to talk to me about the accident? I’m beginning to think that maybe the police are watching out for one of their own, not for the good of the public.
