Hi,
I was in an accident almost 2 months ago and i was found to be more than 51% at fault. The accident occurred at a T intersection. I was at a stop sign and began to take a left hand turn. I had a minimum of 4 car lengths of distance before i began to turn left. The lane I was turning left onto was free of any cars coming. As i entered the road, my car was half way on just over double yellow lines. I glanced right quickly to ensure again there were no cars coming so I continued my left turn. At that time the other car was completely on the the other side of the road after he crossed double yellow lines going in the wrong direction and was speeding. He was going a minimum of 45 MPH. The speed limit is 25 MHP throughout the town. We ended up hitting each other with my front right bumper colliding with his right side rear passanger's door. If I appealed the surcharges, would i have a good case getting them dismissed or having us both found 50 % at fault negating me paying the surcharges.
This happened at 4 PM during rush hour and the ground was wet. I would greatly appreciate advise given.
