If I accept payment from other drivers' auto insurance company, can I still appeal it or a file lawsuit later
As mentioned before, the 21 mph speed of my car as calculated by the GPS in my dashcam and displayed on the video may have been slightly higher than my actual speed, since I was slowing down. I found this information on the Internet: "A Vantage dashcam [the brand that I have] typically...- Mark_A

Sorry, I don't believe that 21 mph was too fast, and I was in the process of slowing down and had plenty of time stop at the traffic light. The road was wet, but the temperature was about 55 F.- Mark_A

I wasn't going too fast. My speed is recorded and displayed in the video and I was slowing down. The speed limit is 45 mph.- Mark_A

If I accept payment from other drivers' auto insurance company, can I still appeal it or a file lawsuit later
I am sure that 99% of people who post comments on the Internet think their posts of above average quality and accuracy. Also, being a good driver doesn't mean one is a defensive driver. Are race car drivers good drivers? I would bet that they take a lot of risks even in street driving that I...- Mark_A

First of all, since my forum name is Mark_A, you can call me he. You claim that I was approaching the red light anticipating it to change to flashing yellow. I thought it might turn to flashing yellow, but I was not counting on that, and I was slowing down fast enough to come to a safe stop at...- Mark_A

It is certainly true that I have peripheral vision, however as I tried to explain earlier, the position of the dashcam on the inside of my windshield (at the top and slightly right of center of the windshield) was different than my view from the drivers seat (lower down, 2 feet back, and on the...- Mark_A

I hope you are not suggesting that I was complacent, just because I have taken that same left hand turn several hundred times at that intersection. I can't just stop dead in the left-hand turn lane because there are cars in the straight-ahead lane that are not moving, or barely moving. I...- Mark_A

That is good advice, and that will help me. I was just correcting some things that I felt like were errors in fact, such as racing to make the light, when in fact I was slowing down because the left-hand turn lane light was red. At the end of the video, you can see that the red light for left...- Mark_A

I appreciate your thoughts. But that is not what I said. First, I was not racing to make my turn. In fact I was slowing down because, although the straight ahead lane had a green light, the left turn lane I was driving in had a red light so I was preparing to stop. That is what is shown in the...- Mark_A

Thanks for your input. Generally, I believe that I am much more aware of other vehicles than most other drivers. I always try to avoid driving right next to someone whenever feasible. However, there has to be some reasonableness test applied, because one cannot always be aware of things...- Mark_A

I believe that I can authenticate the video. This will be in Small Claims Court. But if there is no video, then there is no basis for finding me partially at fault, since the other driver was ticketed for "failure to maintain lane" based on the officer interviewing the other driver and not even...- Mark_A

I was not in a "center" turn lane. It was a dedicated left-hand turn lane, with a solid white line between the straight-ahead lane on my right and the left-hand turn lane that I occupied. I entered the left-hand turn lane over the dotted lines at the proper entry point significantly before the...- Mark_A

I went to the Municipal Court website for the city where the accident occurred and found out that the other driver can pay the ticket online without appearing in court: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN LANE $260.00 I will wait a couple of weeks and see if I can find out if he pays this online without a...- Mark_A

Thanks for your reply. I could go without even doing the repair until a judgement is rendered, but I will consider doing the lowest estimate (paying up front with my own funds is not a problem). The other driver has a court date of 01/07/2025 for his ticket, and I am considering showing up at...- Mark_A

I just received this reply from the other driver's insurance company: As previously mentioned, I have no collision coverage on this vehicle, so I cannot file a claim against my insurance policy (the vehicle is only worth about $5-6K). So my insurance company cannot be involved in any...- Mark_A

Got my first estimate today from a highly regarded repair shop, and it was $3,900. I will get two others to present in Small Claims Court, if the insurance company refuses to assign 100% liability to their insured driver.- Mark_A

I originally took it to a highly rated Body Shop and they took pics and wanted to work directly with the insurance company so they didn't give me an estimate. That was just before I found out about the insurance company wanting to only pay 85%. I will go back to the shop and get a written...- Mark_A

At this point the matter of contention is the liability of each driver. For example, is the driver that hit me 100% liable, or only 85% liable, as claimed by his insurance company because they claim I should have taken more action to avoid the collision to mitigate the damages. Once the issue...- Mark_A
