Car accident question regarding who is to blame
Reply #16 –
Finally heard back from the other person's insurance. They think that it was 80% their insured's fault and 20% my wife's fault, so they are only agreeing to pay for 80% of the damage and 80% of a rental car. Personally, I think that is BS. I called my claim adjuster (our car is already being repaired by our insurance company) and he very much agreed that it was BS. He told me that the guy's statement to him was something to the tune of "I have a really old big car (74 Buick) and I have trouble backing up and I couldn't see behind me." My insurance guy also said like Haystack commented, that he should have had one of his passengers guide him out if he couldn't see. So my insurance thinks the other party is 100% responsible and is going to take it to arbitration with the other company. He said since they have already agreed to pay 80% of the damage, that is the least we will get, so he waived 80% of our deductible, which I thought was pretty cool. I will let you guys know how it works out. Thanks again for the responses.
