What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? missouri
I was in an accient that was clearly not my fault. I was travelling northbound on a two way street that was marked with no parking signs along the southbound lane. I observed a car ahead of me pull to the northbound curb as though he were parking. He was far enough ahead of me that I did not have to slow down as I proceded past him.As I approached his car he made a sharp left turn right in front of me. There was no blinker, no look back to see if any traffic was coming. I swerved to the left to avoid a collision but he keep coming and we collided.
In the police report there was no detail of the accident. It simply said that he said that he was about to turn left into a driveway ( that was not his) and that I went to go around him. The policeman failed to put in the report that I said that he had pulled to the curb as though he were parking and that he failed to signal that he was about to turn. My insurance company said I was 80% at fault and paid out a claim to him.I did not accept their judgement and have questions as to what I can do. Please advise. Thank-you.
P.S. The accident happened June 25th, 2010.
