Car accident - was it my fault?
Comments
-
You're telling me ... my non-fault claim from April 2016 wasn't resolved until early March 2017. (The other party weren't disputing fault, just the amount of the claim).
My bike crash in April 2015 was finally settled in March this year - dispute over the damages and even at the end they argued the toss over £36 for a couple of rides I'd booked that I couldn't doSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

I reported my claim on 27th Feb and it got settled today on 29th March. It must have been a cut and dry case with no complications. My insurer is Tesco, I've been impressed with the claims process throughout.0

The quick settlement suggests that the other party admitted liability. If so, she was ill-advised.0

Great news -the right outcome as well!0 -
I was told by my insurer when I called for an update that they didn't admit liability.
It appears to me a claims investigator came to this decision.0 -
I'm surprised, but pleased for you.
And thanks for coming back and updating. So many don't bother, and it can be frustrating.If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.0 -
No worries, I'll admit to being surprised too. I felt 50/50 would be the outcome.
I don't know how they have judged it, but maybe they considered the whole series of events (from entry of roundabout to collision and thus her being in wrong lane) rather than just the collision No idea. But i'm very happy.0 -

She was wrong 95% of the time she was on the roundabout, OP was wrong for the last 5%. She's hardly blameless.0 -
To be pedantic
... the other party was correct for the first 50% of the roundabout and wrong for the next 25% when she decided to keep going round.
