OT Lawyers, LEO, Insurance guys - Traffic Accident fault
Posted on 2/25/16 at 2:10 pm

Couple questions for you guys.
Here's the setting. 2 cars traveling same direction. single lane hwy with turning lane in middle
Run down of the accident report
Car#1
Veers left over into turning lane. makes right hand turn into parking lot. (Video from grocery store footage clearly shows car gets into turning lane). Car 1 & 2 collide, in the travel lane and go off the road to the right
Violations - According to accident report:
A) Makes wide right turn
B) Inattentiveness
Car#2
Violations: None
1. Who's at fault?
2. Is it the insurance company's job to establish fault?
3. Am I living in the twilight zone?

2. Was a police report filed?
3. Have a beer

So the car went left into the turning lane to make a right hand turn? Why? I could see if it was pulling a trailer, but why did they swing that wide?

Car #1 is at fault
I am not a tPOS, therefore, I am none of these

1. Probably both.
2. No.
3. It's hard to tell. Why do you think you are?

Each insurance company will disclaim fault. Driver 2 will have to get a lawyer to prove that driver 1 was at fault. Insurance company for Driver 1 will eventually cave and pay something, unless Allstate or unless Driver 1 goes and gets a 10 level Vogelectomy.

The way I'm reading that, V1 is clearly at fault for making a right hand turn from the center turning lane (across the thru lane of traffic). Insurance company decides whether or not they think they owe for the damages. They do not decide "fault." It's more like accepting responsibility. The "fault" can be reversed if the claim makes it to trial based on the argument of the defense/plaintiff

seems like you're answering the question yourself
I will give in my $.02 tho...
1. Video footage showing car 1 making a bad turn will help determine they are at fault by driving negligently. The only way car 2 could be in trouble is if they can somehow prove they were speeding and did not give car 1 enough room, therefore colliding. I am still sticking with car 1 being at fault, but at the end of the day, best way to settle this is to get police report.
2. Both insurance companies will fight to say the other one was at fault. *refer to police report is the real answer
3. if you are living in the twilight zone, can you give me directions on how to get there?

Generalize much?
Amazing how horrible some people are to each other on this board.
