Have you been in a car accident that wasn't your fault but you got the blame?
I have been in one where, if I did not have a dash cam, that would have happened. A guy backs up into me and says, with a smirk, it’s your fault and you cannot prove otherwise. And “Oh, my neck is hurting.” Almost always when there is front end damage on one car and rear end damage on the other the driver with front end damage is at fault. I said nothing to him but called for a cop. I let him give his story to the cop. Then I showed the cop the video. Handcuff time. His insurance company tried to get out of paying because it was deliberate but that did not fly. There was no pain and suffering to claim on my side but I do think that not at fault drivers should also be able to claim for time lost.
Minor car accident, who was at fault?
I just had my first car accident, and I'm all shaken up about it. So what happened was, I was parked right in front of a pet store. I drive a big ford SUV, and parking was a breeze. There was only a car on my right, no car on my left. I went into the store, bought some things, then went back to my car. I started it up. By this time there was still a car parked on my right, and no car on my left. I looked both ways, especially paying attention to the right where the most traffic was. I looked both ways, then began to back up and turn to head left. There was no car to my left, so I took a wider turn to get out. If there were cars on both sides, I would usually go straight back before turning. I didn't want to spend my time backing straight out and holding up possible traffic. Next thing I know during mid-turn my car has stopped, and I have just bumped into a car that was parked to my left. I was thinking how did you get there?!? My left front had bumped into the right rear bumper of a minivan that had just parked. My car had the most damage, with a tiny dent and scratch, while there's looked fine. At first I thought it was all my fault, but then I thought about it, and honestly, if I were them, I would have waited for the SUV (me) to pull out first before parking next to it. It could also be bad timing on both of us. Anyway, I don't really care about my SUV. Thankfully both me and the other driver both have AAA insurance, and it's getting taken care of. no room left...

I almost got into a car accident and it was my fault? Cannot get over it, help!?
So I am a novice driver, it has been 5 months, but I barely drove in the summer (no one would want to drive with me). So I was driving to class with my mom today. At a stop light, It was green and I was waiting in the middle to do a left turn but cars kept coming and coming. There were two cars coming and then the light turned yellow, and I thought I could go so I did. But one of the cars kept going, honked and swerved and we avoided a crash. My mom gasped out, and I realized I could've killed her, and anyone in the other car at that moment. I know it's my fault, I should've waited till the light turned red and till it was sure that I could go. I could've even asked my mom to tell me when to go. After that moment, I'm really sensitive so I started to cry because I was confident and thought I was getting better as driver, maybe good enough to take my test. My mom told me it was fine, etc, what to do next time, what I should've done etc. But I started crying. I got to my class, did the thirty minutes and then she made me drive again and I really wanted to cry. I whispered I want to kill myself to myself, and after a few seconds my mom started saying that I would've killed us and that I want to kill myself. I started crying again I know its true, that I probably would've killed her and now I can't stop crying when I think about it, I am crying right now.
Sandwich 3 Cars Accident. Who's at fault?
It's partially your fault because you were tailgating. If you weren't, you'd have had time to stop. I don't know where you're at, but in my state, the law says you have to leave a gap between you and the car in front of you, that's equivalent to one car-length per every 10 miles of speed. In the rain, that doubles. So, if you were here, and were driving 50, the law says you'd need to have 10 car lengths between you and the car in front of you. This distance is based on our scientific knowledge of how long it takes to stop a car. Your insurance companies will work to figure out what percentage of the damage should be "assigned" to each driver. More than likely, your premiums will be increased for a while. It's highly doubtful that you'll need an attorney. You really wouldn't need that unless there were criminal charges pressed, and it sounds as if that's not part of the deal. Of course you tried to avoid it! Everyone does! That's why they're called accidents! Don't feel bad about it...but DO use this as a learning opportunity, and be more aware while you're on the road.
Car Accident insurance fault?
As your friend did not see the accident, he did not witness it. The police seem to have this as a he said, she said situation. It could go 50/50 or both your co and his could deny liability as you each claim the other is at fault. Make the claim with the other drivers ins co and see what happens-- you may have to file a small claims suit to recover the damages to your vehicle.
I was in a car accident (not at fault) and my car was determined to be a total loss. What do I do?
I was in a car accident last Wednesday. I was not at fault at all, I was turning left at a green arrow when a girl hits me directly into my left side. She ran a red light and was determined at fault. I got a rental car from the insurance so I could go to school and work while they repair my car. I got a call yesterday while I was in class but could not answer because I was in class; the voicemail said my car was a total loss and that we need to discuss a settlement.
