(NY)
Hi my insurance company said, she was at fault. However, in NY each insurance company covers their own insured for medical needs, it is referred to as No Fault. There is also a thresh-hold to meet for injuries, I have filed suit for injuries and that is where the other insured's insurance company said I was 75% at fault.
I was driving in a southbound lane in upstate New York, I signaled to make a left turn and just as I was in my turn and almost completely on the other side of the road in the Northbound lane I was hit from behind in the left corner of my car, the impact spun my car around and I was then facing Northbound but on the other side of the white line.
The witness and the driver who struck me said I was half on the road and half over the white line, this is not true, however the driver who struck me said I did not signal, and the witness said she doesn't know if I did or not. They both agreed in deposition my vehicle was moving at the time and the witness stated that the driver who struck me had room to stay in the Southbound lane and pass me there.
I am still searching for a statute in New York that states if you pass over the double yellow line you are at fault no matter what, the attorney's in my life are too busy to discuss it and think I am sweating over the small stuff. But I know if it is important to the insurance company who writes the check as to then it is important to me. I guess we are going to let a juror decide.
By the way, my brother in-law is a CHP in Red Bluff, what part of California are you in, I am thinking Nor-Cal means Northern California, I am from Chico.
Thanks,
