**A: please explain. Are you asking about liability for an insurance claim?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Utah. Does anyone know if there is a deadline for an insurance company and their insurer to establish liability?
Your insurance should be able to help you with this. Although, I'd bet you only have the minimum liability insurance...right?A car pulled out infront of us, we couldn't see due to a van pulling into the drive the other vehicle was pulling out of. Our car was not drivable and was towed. The other driver did recieve a citation for causing the accident. Their insurance claims department called us the next day and stated they still have to talk to their insurer to establish liability before they make any payments/promises. Accident happened Sunday, today is Wednesday and they still haven't been able to talk to their insurer. As far as I know they won't proceed with the claim until they talk to them.
**A: you should only be communicating with your own insurance company.I have full coverage and they will help me with rental car, however, I am concerned that even though witnesses and police report states it is clearly not our fault that if for whatever reason they can think of limits their liability, it will cause my insurance to go up. I have a hard time with trust.
Congrats on being properly covered. If your insurance goes up, it will be based on the findings of YOUR insurance company, not theirs.I have full coverage and they will help me with rental car, however, I am concerned that even though witnesses and police report states it is clearly not our fault that if for whatever reason they can think of limits their liability, it will cause my insurance to go up. I have a hard time with trust.

Unless the poster was inpatient, and moved over into the oncoming lane to go around the slowing car in front of them.....and then smashing into the car coming out of the side drive. It's not clear how many lanes of traffic there were on this street.Not likely, OP had the right of way and had no duty to see or avoid a car pulling out of a parking lot or driveway.
Never heard of a ticket for "causing an accident". I've heard of "failure to control the speed of a vehicle to avoid a colission" and "failure to yield".A car pulled out infront of us, we couldn't see due to a van pulling into the drive the other vehicle was pulling out of.
