3. This happened at CVS. There is a camera that hopefully will show what happened.
4. We have the same insurance, so the adjusters will fight out who is at fault.
5. I work in the same building as the girls mom, I see her everyday. Hopefully if for some reason it comes back as my fault, they won't claim anything cause its minimal damage on her car.
6. I understand many of you will say "you were backing up so its your fault"... I'm not on here to argue my point, but I will say this. The parking lot is L shaped. It was clear of vehicles from my perspective when I was backing up (there was a truck parked on the left side of me), and considering she hit the rear passenger side, that proves that I was just about out of the parking spot. Had she been traveling in her correct lane while on the curve in the parking, she would not have hit me. Also had she not been speeding, she wouldn't have hit me. Attachment 36569 |
1 question, you were backing up -- were you at a full stop and you were just about ready to go when she plowed you? Meaning that you were already in the drive way and not in the parking lot correct?
If you were at a full stop and she saw you already backed out all the way, then plowed into you, then yeah it's her fault. though from the accident and the look of it, the only way she could have caught it on her skirt is if you were just getting out and she just drove by and you hit her. I'd take pictures of the lot and reference your spots too just in case it comes down to proving you were right.
