Car accident - car hit from behind. driver that hit me blames me?

  • I was traveling down a road and was slowing down to turn into a turning lane and another car hit my car from behind. He has told his insurance company that i cut him off when i didnt. What happends here? who do they believe? i have someone who was in the car with me can they prove that i am right and i did not cut him off?

  • Answer:

    Even if you did cut him off, people are supposed to stay alert enough not to rear-end anyone.

Did you file a police report? It is always the other persons fault if they hit you in the rear. If you didn't I would call his insurance agency and yours and get them to access the damage. If you cut him off you would have messed up the side of his car. I hope you get this taken care of.

Anytime someone hits you from behind, it is their fault.

Ok.. please take everyones advice with a grain of salt b/c im seeing ALOT of wrong answers. As a claims adjuster let me tell you what is going to happen.. Generally if they hit you smack in the middle of the back.. regardless if their insured told them you switched lanes.. they will pay out. It may take a little time for them to investigate but they will. now, if your damage is to one side (say your left side) then it will be word vs word and the damage will support their facts of loss. But it is DEFINATELY an insurance companies job to protect their insured and if they have no evidence to PROVE They are at fault.. they obviously wont pay out.

If you cut him off, there would likely be an angle to the damage that any insurance investigator would spot. It is going to be pretty tough for him to prove you did that. It sounds like he wasn't paying attention, and is trying to cast blame as fast as he can.

If you hit a car in the rear it is your fault. If you back out of a street or driveway into a car it is your fault. A car in reverse is at fault and if someone slams you from the rear while your car is in a forward motion or gear , it is the one who rearends you is at faullt. Besides if you are turning left and a car is passing on the left and hits you it is their fault

Its the car that hit you fault...

Were you changing lanes when this happened? I'm assuming you did since you say you were slowing down to turn into a turning lane. If you were changing lanes when this happened, sorry, you're at fault. You made an unsafe lane change. However, if you can prove he was somewhere he wasn't supposed to be, for example, traveling more than 100ft in a suicide lane that turns into a left turn lane, then he's partially to blame. If you were NOT making a lane change & were rear ended, he's at fault.

its their fault and you need to hire an attorney. ive been hit by a car twice: walking across the street and on my bike, so i know from personal experience. it sucks. try to get a good attorney to go after his insurance for damages and any kind of personal injury
