Question:
When I changed lane from left to middle, met with an accident. Dont know how it happened, but when all done, a suv was stopped on right lane and my right front wheel was jammed. because of impact, i hit car on left lane in sideways collition. Who is at fault. When cop came, i told him i changed lane. So he took me as primary at fault. But based on damage, it sure looks like guy hit me from right. A witness also told cop that guy on right was speeding and rash. But i guess no body spoke when cop was talking and since i told him i changed lane, i am put at fault now, which i think is incorrect. I think guy on right try to come into middle when i already established myself from left to middle lane. I only have liability since it was old car. But I feel, i am not at fault. What should I do? How much lawyers charge? Do I have any chance? is it worth donating damaged car to write off tax?

If 75% of all accidents happen within 5 miles of home, why not move 10 miles away?
Unless you have a witness, it will be your word against the other driver's word. Your description of the accident is pretty confusing. A lot of personal injury lawyers will represent you without money up front and will take 33 1/3 percent of whatever you might win in a court case. Your saying that you don't know how it happened makes me think you weren't paying attention. I don't think you would have a very good chance to win.Driving Accident - Advice needed?
the insurance will cover it all dont worry. dont donate the car try to trade it in for another one at a dealer's 'push, pull or drag it in' saleHow I would get LED tailights DOT certified?
Probably you were BOTH changing lanes at the same time. It happens a lot on 3-6 lane freeways. I'd say it's equal fault.why is it people are so stupid when it comes to driving in rain? Or snow?
the damage doesn't usually indicate fault.what caused the accident is the issue.
did you signal while changing lanes. it seem to me that the other car was in your blind spot. it is an expensive lesson to look before you leap.
Did the Hummer lose street cred. on New Years? What a worthless, weak automobile!?
not worth the lawyer since the other guy did not admit to changing lanes, too , and no one came forward you are at fault unless you can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, and you don't have witnesses. as far as the car being donated it depends on damage and type at worst you would probably get a 500 dollar write off which is more than you will get at a junkyard, but not worth it if you don't already itemize your taxesMore Questions & Answers ...
