Any witnesses? Yesterday....
I was at a full stop at the Yield sign getting on 16th Ave W from University Dr N (constant heavy volume) . After a gap of about 5 secods, I heard a car's brakes, looked into my rearview mirror and saw a White truck swerving to the left , got on the embankment and then his front right bumper hit the rear left side of my car just above the tire. I noticed dents and scratches on my car but no noticable damage to his vehicle. We started exchanging some insurance information, but the traffic was getting backed up and we were being honked at. I suggested we pull over into a parking lot so we both drove to the parking lot behind the Keg on Uxbridge Dr NW where we exchanged more insurance information and I took more photos of the damage.
I took photos of the damage but not where his truck ended up. And I didnt note down any witnesses....I thought it was going to be a straight forward rear-ending claim but now his insurance company claims I fishtailed and am at 50% fault!??
Thanks!:banghead:
