What is the name of your state? CA
A month ago my husband and I were involved in an auto accident. We were going through a intersection with a light when we were broadsided by another driver. We had the green light but he is claiming he did and with no independent witnesses, the police report says that liability for the accident can not be decided.
His insurance company wants to assign us 80% of the liability for the accident. We were hit is the rear door and quarter panel of our car as we exited the intersection. It spun us in a 360 and we ended up the opposite lane 30 yards away. They are claiming that we could have done more to avoid the accident BUT because he hit us in the rear of the car they are WILLING to give us 20% liability.
We are very concerned about taking any liability for this accident. We did not run a red light. We have been told that if we take any liability, we can open ourselves up to a lawsuit years from now. We only had liability insurance on our car so our insurance company will not do anything at this point to help us.
We have a totalled car in our driveway and over $3,000 dollars in medical (I was taken by ambulance to the hospital). What do we do now? I have approached two attorneys and have been told that they will not take our case because there were no witnessess.
