I just checked the HD footage of the accident. It matches exactly with what I remember. No stop signs and yield signs at the intersection. I was doing 22 MPH in a 25 MPH zone. The other car entered the intersection at the same time I did. He didn't attempt to slow down. Same as my mistake. I immediately tried to get away from him and ended up on the sidewalk as I steared to the left. But sadly I still got hit. For once I thought I got away and avoided the accident. But nope, it was a bad day. But thank God, it could have been much worse. I am alive.

After that initial investigation, my insurance adjuster says that I had been through the intersection when I was hit, I had almost made it. And I also had an evasive maneuver to the left. They say that I have no liability. And they will contact the other drivers insurance on my behalf. The dashcam footage really really helped.

I've got one at the corner of my yard. The first winter I was here a couple months after I moved in there was an accident. The snow was piled high on the corners as that happens in WI. Haven't seen one since at that one. There are lots of uncontrolled intersections in my town too.

They also said that after talking to the other driver and investigating more, they will come to the final decision. But they also said that even in the worst case scenario for me, the other driver will be at least majority at fault if not 100% at-fault.
NavigatorWife Thanks this.
