Hi I was involved in an accident on an expressway in New York. I was in the left most lane, while the other driver was in the middle lane. There was a construction worker in the middle lane holding a "slow" sign and the lady in the middle lane stopped her car in front of him. While I was driving in the left lane, she then merged onto my lane suddenly, giving me no time to break or stop for crashing.
She told the police that she stopped because of the construction worker and that I rear ended her.
I told the police what I posted above.
One of the construction workers told the police that I shouldve been driving slower since it was a work zone. * there was no sign indicating a reduction in speed limit nor any signs posted about be a work zone.
Am I partly at fault?
I called my insurance company and started a claim. Tomorrow the adjuster will speak with me. Any tips on what i should do or say?
This is my first accident after 3 years of driving. The driver of the other vehicle has a temporary license...
Thank you everyone for taking the time to read this and give suggestions
