What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I was in an accident July 11th. I was heading straight (east bound) through my green light and the other driver was heading towards me (west bound) in the turn lane and failed to yeild to me. I was hit on the drivers side, flipped on the passengers side, then fell back the right way. The police officers were unable to determine fault because we had different stories as to who had a green light. I have two witnesses that say she was at fault and she has one that says I'm at fault. However, all three witnesses have three different stories as to what actually happened. I've been fighting and pushing her insurance (actually a relative's because it wasn't her car) to get things moving because they've hardly done anything. Just today they finally contacted two of the witnesses. I've sent pics and videos of what the lights are synced to do since they aren't getting anywhere on the claim. She never even filed on my insurance which I find very odd. What happens if they can't determine fault either? An arbitrary? I went to all the businesses in the area and only one has video facing that street and it doesn't show the lights, just the flow of traffic. They won't release it without a court order though. I considered getting a lawyer because I don't know how long they even keep the video but I can't afford one if things go even more south. Does her insurance have a time limit to get this figured out? My totaled car is just sitting there collecting fees daily and the adjuster didn't even know it was a total loss and in the lot until today. Any advice as to what I should do to get this resolved or what to expect next?
