new to this board but need some advice- pls help... I was in an accident in Jan09, it was a 2 lane street (1 way east bd/1 way west bd) There is a 53' trailer double parking on the wrong side of the street, as I try to pass thou the trailer but it suddenly move and backing up, I try to avoid the hit by going to my right but no room since there is car parking on the side. My car was hit on driver side rear door (deep) and rear quarter panel. My car was already 90% pass the container box, and got hit by the trailer back wheel. I had filed claim against the trailer driver insurance co. (country-wide) and the adjustor already check and quoted the price $4500 for the repair (my car is bmw 528 /2002). I just receive settlement from country-wide stated they are only responsible of 50% of the damage ($2250) since they said I am 50% at fault....They argue that their client mentioned the trailer already in motion and i try to go pass it when their backing up....I think it is total non-sense & if the trailer is indeed in motion of backing up, the damage of my car should be the front instead of the rear. Question is at this point, can i still negotiate with the insurance co? If so how...?? Or this is the offer I had to accept and take $$ out my pocket to cover the rest of the repair.....I tell them every single pieces of info i had i even draw them a diagram of what happen that day...but didnt seem to work in either way for them to reconsider the price.....Pls help..... |

is correct, but I am wondering how the police reacted when they saw the scene...did they ticket anyone or at least assign fault from what they saw???...I know police reports are not the be-all and end-all, but if they saw obvious lawbreaking, then their report could carry some weight...no, they did not see who moved first, but a truck parked on the wrong side, and cited for it, might be one of those objective things that could be hard to argue or dispute...
