PSA: If you’re involved in a wreck take pictures of both cars.

I was in a small minor accident about eight weeks ago on Sherwood Forest Boulevard. The other driver changed lanes right into me and he hit me with his back left quarter panel.

There was minimal damage, but I still called BRPD. He took statements from both drivers and filed a report. Even though the other driver was clearly at fault for changing lanes right into me, the report was inconclusive and didn’t really show who was fully to blame. No ticket was given to the other driver.

We both have USAA insurance. He filed the initial claim three days after the accident. I received a notification from the app, so I called and gave them all of the information.

It turns out that the little fricker said he completely changed lanes, traffic slowed, and then I rear ended him.

With the police report being inconclusive, they were originally going with the accident as 100% my fault based on his lie. Luckily, I snapped pictures of the front of my car and the left rear of his car, and it clearly shows an impact on the back left corner of his car. I sent those into USAA.

Since he admitted to changing lanes (but lying about everything else) he can’t recant his story and say I changed lanes into him.

So, take pictures if you’re involved in a minor wreck or some lying piece of shite will try to lie about whose fault the wreck was to the insurance company.
