Question
Hi, I was driving straight on a road and another car came out of a shopping mall and hit the side of car. My car was damaged on the driver side door, rear door and bumper. We (me the other driver) exchanged information and I reported to my insurance company. Unfortunately, there was no witness to it and I am worried if the other driver would report something different and end up I had partial fault even though I had the obvious right of way. Could you tell me what my chances are and whether I am worrying too much? Would adjusters look at how the car is damaged and decide who is wrong? Thanks!
Answer
Well now you know why its a good idea to call or wait for the police to come out. People can change their mind and make up stories and rationalize it the more time they have. But in your case, yes, the vehicle physical damage areas should work in your favor. But you may have to tell it to a judge if the other adjuster tries to bully you.
