Unhappy The 80 SD was hit today...in an odd situation

i was driving down a country road to come home, i was following this guy for like a quarter mile. he stops all the sudden, then i stop about 2 to 4 feet behind him. the next thing i know his reverse lights were on and before i could hit the horn or get the car in reverse he had aldready hit me. he was backing up to turn on to a road that we had just passed.

Of course, the situation looked like i hit him and that is what he told the police officer after agreeing with me that he backed into me. he said that he was slowly moving forward and i hit him from behind.

he was in his late 50's early 60's '07 full sized truck with a cab. iam 24 who do you think the police is going to side with. So i then call my brother back who is a state troper also and he says there is nothing i can do.

So now i am in an uphill battle. i already called my insurance company and told them what happened and that the other guy lied to the officer. so now it is a battle.

*edit*
as far as i can tell with out opening the hood i need: 3 lights, possibly a bumper, a a/c condenser, a oil cooler, a rad, a fan shroud, a fan, a hood, a grlle, an a/c fan. i hope they don't total it cause of costs.

I have pics tomorrow to up load.
