also agreeing with those who said you are 100% at fault. hopefully everything works out for you. |
Sorry bud. From the video, I saw the van's blinker going, and then he turned it off and started going straight again. You are still 100% at fault. |
Whether the blinkers were on or not, I always make sure the other vehicle is AT LEAST fully stopped as if they were preparing to make the turn (with blinkers on for added assurance). If this were the case, you would have a slightly stronger argument. The onus is ALWAYS on the turner to ensure a safe, clear route prior to turning. No matter what you do, it's going to be deemed your fault, because it is. Sorry it's a hard lesson learned. Not to come down on you but that was not a "safe" turn by any means. It may not look like a high speed reckless turn, but it does look careless and abrupt. It could of been much worse, glad you are okay though. One question: what type of insurance coverage do you have if not collision? man....isn't that the point of insurance? |
Can't remember how many times I've seen people leave their right blinker on looking like they're going to turn right but continue on forward while I'm trying to make a right turn into their lane. From the angle of the camera, the van doesn't look like it's going to turn, and is coming pretty quick towards you. Take it as a lesson learned to be more cautious. Good luck! |
Can we lock this thread. There is 4 pages of saying your SOL and people keep rehashing the same opinion lol |
Id fight it, theres nothing to lose. I think its pretty obvious the Sienna was turning, and its your job to convince the adjuster that Sienna was. Cause your adjuster believes the Sienna wasnt. I can see the blinker especially on the hood of your car, theres 4 white dots from the reflection of the headlights of the Caravan and Sienna, 1 of the dots is pulsating which indicates to me that the blinker is on. Also the gap between the Caravan and Sienna, theres about 1 car length between the 2 at the 29 second mark, and within 3 seconds theres 6+ car lengths which also tells me that the Sienna was basically or almost stopped. Now everyone says they wouldnt turn unless the Sienna gives clear indication that he or she is. I think there was. How long is the OP supposed to sit there? 1 more second? 3? 10? 30? Even at 30, if the OP decided it was safe to turn, the Sienna could just as easily change its mind and go straight like it did in the video and cause this accident. Goodluck OP |

If the sienna made a full stop with his signal on and OP waited 3 seconds before making a turn but then the Sienna changed his mind and went straight, then the OP would have a case to fight. But with this specific situation, he should have waited. There is absolutely no point in fighting this case as he is going to lose. |
100% your fault brah |
nothing has changed still 100 percent your fault... LOCK THE THREAD!!! |
