I wonder whose fault would it be if you went thru an intersection when you had green light, but your car stops in the middle of it. Then the cars from the crossing road get green light and one of them crashes into you. You had no business being there, but they're still retarded to crash into you. I actually saw that exact scenario on one of those daytime court shows. Lady drove into intersection on green, cars didn't make it across (due to traffic congestion). Some dumb ass got his green and just rammed into her. Both of them were at fault. She shouldn't have entered the intersection if she couldn't make it through and the other crasher obviously shouldn't have driven into the clogged intersection even if they have the right-of-way. PS- CA Law, I think it used to be illegal to pass in an intersection but now its now its legal, just bad manner/not very safe to do. | ||

Even tho I obviously made a mistake, I was still ahead of her and it was her who hit me, not the other way around. the point is that she was in the last possible lane to turn to left so she could easily ignore the mirrors, looking back, etc. the only problem for her is her front side, if no cars come from there she is free to make the maneuver. tho she should look behind of course, but for her safety only: a reckless driver could crash her car. takeaway lessons for you: 1 you'd better horn before doing such a dangerous move. it's standard in my country. it's not like it frees you from the responsibility, it's just that the other driver would be more careful for reckless people. 2, the most important thing you need to learn now from this - if a car right in front of you goes slowly or slows down, you need to do the exact same thing, 100% understand the reason and only then do your next move. Pray to god, there was no a child passing the street in front of that car... you could easily hit the child. Now, knowing that worse things could happen, you just happily go and pay.

I was t-boned in an intersection and at the site it was obviously the guy's fault(he admitted it on site). Me being dumb and young at the age just swapped insurance info and went home without calling the police, didn't see the need to. Anyways, he tells his insurance company that I ran a red light, even though he was turning right during a red light in the second lane from the curb(he admitted on the scene). Anyways, my insurance compnay said there was nothing I could do. The repairs ended up being like 10,000 and my insurance paid for 2k of that. So I was out 8k and now have a point on my insurance from the accident. Don't be a jerk like that other guy  .Edit: She isn't obligated by law to use her blinker, you were the only one making an ilegal move and are entirely at fault. No reason to ever be in such a rush, slow down when you're driving and just enjoy listening to music or whatever. | ||

If it were a one way street, she would have to make a left turn on the left most street, or if there were two left turn lanes, the one to the far left would have been for left turns only. If it were a one way street with two left turn lanes, you're entirely at fault. One way street with one or zero designated turn lanes.. she's entirely at fault for making an illegal left turn. | ||

You can't pass someone in an intersection or if there's a solid line in Canada. Canada isn't related to this scenario though. Your maneuver was super dangerous and quite illegal. You may get away with it because she hit you from "behind" but don't do that shit again. | ||

I mean, wtf? Did you read your contract closely? Can you get in contact with them and ask them what are the factual reasons they would only give 20-30 %? If I get this correctly, the main issue right now is the husband dude wants cash. And the cash is -normally- coming from your insurance company. So I guess one way you could fix that problem, and avoid all court matters, is trying to elucidate why the repayment is that low. You can argue with your insurance. To your insurance company, if you did not say it already, don't mention that she was driving slow... but do insist on the point that she fucking forgot her "light" AND she didnt check behind nor sides this selfish bitch. Court is another story, you don't want to talk them around, as it may and will, most of the time, gets back on you. But you can talk around your insurance a little more. As a side note, I am a biker myself, and I FUCKING HATE when they do that. | ||

Edit: Nvm I got it, there arn't many intersections that look like that in my area. Most streets here have like 4-5 lanes per road, not just 2. | ||

1. She didn't signal when she's about to turn at an intersection (wtf?) 2. If you look at the OPs pic (and if its tru) he was practically right beside her when she turned, which means if she'd even looked slightly to her left she should have been able to see a car out of the corner of her eye and why the fuck wouldn't you look where ur about to turn? On top of that, regardless of how stupid passing a car at an intersection is, she's still the one that hit his car, not the other way around. Also, If you read what he said his insurance company told him, than its clear this is not 100% his fault according to his countries laws. So maybe we should stop it with this "100% ur fault" bs? | ||

He probably wasn't right next to her when she started turning. In fact, he was probably in her blind spot and then a second later right next to her. | ||
