Definitely do this. I had a similar situation happen years ago. I hired a lawyer, we went to court. Since the cop didn't subpoena the other driver, and he didn't personally witness the accident, my lawyer immediately asked for the case to be dismissed. The judge agreed since the officer couldn't testify that he actually witnessed any infractions (since he didn't arrive until after the accident had happened). Nor could he relay what the witnesses on scene had said, since they weren't in court for my lawyer to cross-examine. Boom, case dismissed.
