However that does not change reality. #### HAPPENS be prepared.joseph1853 Thanks this. -
But yeah I agree it's in one of the rear end it's going to be your fault every time.
That being said there are cases where it's not your fault. such as in the case of somebody pulling in front of you and deliberately slamming on their brakes just to try to collect insurance money.
Proving it well that's another matter.rank Thanks this. -
Update 1/28/19
So here's an update on what's going on with this deal.
Her insurance rejected my claim and my insurance has rejected their claim.
My insurance says that because I only had liability on my car that they're done with the case cuz there's nothing else they need to do as far as fixing my car and such.
So I'm on my own as far as getting compensated for the damage is done.
I ended up talking with the sergeant over the guy that wrote the crash report. he said basically what I thought he would that there's nothing I can do as far as getting the officer to change his report or add an addendum or something.
I told him I had pictures proving that the lady was in the middle of the lane when I hit her. the picture shows a skid mark going directly to her steer tires from the middle of the road.
He said it doesn't matter basically those pictures could be doctored or something along those lines.
So I guess it's down to me taking the insurance company to small claims court basically.
I'm in the process of doing that.
My wife says I should just drop it take it as a learning lesson.
I told her that's exactly what the insurance companies hoping I do. -
joseph1853 Thanks this. -
that reminds me to keep an eye on people getting onto the highway. But I'm glad you were able to prove your innocence apparently that's a rare occurrence with truck drivers.rank Thanks this. -
Had to tell the highway cleanup crew to not sweep up that debris until the officer saw it. Also took pictures for my records. When you are innocent, there is always a way to prove it.
If you took pictures and measurements I am quite confident you’ll win your case against the Ins co. Whether it’s worth your time and money is up to youjoseph1853 Thanks this. -

“Faulty evasive manouvres?” Lol. That phrase begs the question, why did you need to take evasive manouvres in the first place?
I don’t imagine the Ins co is going to spend much time on this. They’ll settle with you but you’ll have to show them you’re serious by filing a suit.
Are you in a no fault state? Are you even allowed to sue them?joseph1853 Thanks this. -
rank Thanks this.
