I be hit contained by an auto coincidence surrounded by a parking lot. Her insurance company say I'm at reprimand. Help!?

I was picking up my 17 year old son from arts school one evening. I was in the right appendage lane going forward when I passed a truck stopped in the middle of both lanes. I proceeded and never gone my lane. She hit me with her front right bumper in my hindmost drivers side passenger door. I called police. They don't file a report because it is within a parking lot. I file a claim the next light of day (I took pictures from all angles) with her insurance company. They come and lug an estimate of the damages to my vehicle. They have me send contained by a diagram of what happened and the other party did indistinguishable. They then call me pay for saying I'm at fault for making an unsafe go by on the right of her. I never left my lane at all. The pictures after the disaster show that I am in my lane completely. What do I do next? The destruction to my vehicle is over $1200. She dented in my back door near her front bumper. Seriously! What do I do next?

Get a lawyer!
First of all..A college parking lot is goverment property...So there should have be some type of report on this...what state do you live in? Texas may be a little different. Without a police report it will be unyielding to do anything about it. If you sue her for it...she will more than likely in recent times forward it to her insurance company to take care of it...if you run after her personally anyway.Well, I'm trying to think of anything else...but im drawing a blank.

Have you talk to your insurance company?

Your description does not say whether she was moving or not. She may be claiming that your hit her. If she be parked, you hit a stationary vehicle and could be responsible even if she were completely in your lane.

There is also a interrogate of why you proceeded if the way was not completely clear.

It may be a interview of one person's word against another. There could have been shelter cameras in the parking lot that could have record the accident.
sounds like she be fixing to turn into a parking spot and had pulled to the left to construct the turn. you tried to pass her and she hit you during the turn.

get out your checkbook, you give the impression of being to be at fault. why the hurry?

call your insurance company
Let me see if I take your description properly.

There are two lanes. She's stopped in the middle of BOTH lane. To me, that means she's straddling the dividing line. Then you added "slightly more to the other lane". As we drive on the right, I'll assume she's slightly more into the moved out lane? Say, 2/3 in left lane, 1/3 surrounded by right lane? Then you decided that she's not moving, so you then proceed to leave behind her on the right, even though she has 1/3 of the car lifeless in your lane. Is that correct? Then as you pass her on the right, she turned right and right into you. Is that correct?

Technically speaking, you *did* manufacture an unsafe pass. In CA, the law primarily says that "You can pass on the right when the coup¨¦ in front of you is making a left turn. When at hand is unobstructed pavement with the width of two or more lines going surrounded by the same direction. If not, you are going to have to skulk."

I don't know if you're in CA or not, so this may or may not apply to you. But basically, you don't know which opening that lady is turning, and you don't have a full lane to yourself. Thus, you really should NOT enjoy gone ahead and try to pass her unless you've ascertained that she's NOT going to move.

In your specific case, I'd suggest you involve your own insurance company (you are insured, right?) and see if they can negotiate 75%/25% (basically, you carry 75% of fault for the pass, but they take on 25% for not signalling and holding up traffic) That pretty much means you'll only be compensated for $300, if you even gain that much. They may even sue you for damage to her vehicle (scratch on the bumper).

Answers:    I would suggest you call your own insurance company. If the other drivers insurance is claiming you to be at failing they will be filing a claim with your company anyways, unless you live contained by a state where insurance companies cannot collect back collision losses to their insured vehicle. Now again, without seeing the diagram and without asking the other driver what they did or be going to do I can't say for sure who is proximate cause here. And also be aware that the second post may be slightly incorrect. Each state has a different rule regarding comparative negligence. In a true comp neg state contained by a 75/25 scenario the 75% at fault driver can collect back 25% from the other company and visa versa. In modified comp neg states recurrently a party can only collect subsidise if they are 50% at fault or less. So given a 75/25 scenario the 25% at imperfection could collect back 75%, but the 75% cannot collect back 25%. If you gossip with your company and there ends up mortal comp neg they can inform you of the particular law contained by your state. Also, if you get your car fixed underneath your policy and your company finds you not at fault, they will likely report in arbitration against the other company. If they win, you would get your deductible rear. Good Luck
