I was going east bound on a 2-lane main street, while the person that hit me is coming west bound on the same street. I'm in lane #2 (farthest from median) going straight, while the other driver is in lane #1 (one closest to median) making a left.
The light was green for both of us, meaning she is supposed to yield and I have the right away. We are both the same distance from the lights, both doing the speed limit.
Instead of yielding at a solid green light, instead she decides to speed up. Then we hit in the middle of the intersection!
She told the police I had my left turn signal on (which I didn't), but I was still in the straight away lane regardless. She also told my insurance agent the same thing. She then tells her agent a different story. That I was in the left lane now, trying to go left...So now, her insurance is saying they're most likely going to dismiss the claim because it's "he-said-she-said". Now, my car is totaled all in the front and she only has a medium sized dent on her right front fender.
The police all(3) said that It looked like she was at fault by the stories. I am planning on getting written statements from all or most of them.
I had 2 passengers with me, they both saw what happened...but they're of no use, because of the "biased friend" thing. I took pictures of my car the moment after the accident. Then, came back 2 weeks later (today) to take pictures of the left-behind tire marks from all the oil on the tires when it gushed out after the hit. It shows i was going straight, then veered off to the right side of the road so I wouldn't block traffic. The reason I waited so long to take the pictures of the aftermath, is because I barely heard the news today that the other insurance company is , and I quote, "Most likely going to dismiss this claim...".
I am collecting as much evidence to take the party at fault to court. Is there anything else I can do to make sure my case goes smooth, along with all the evidence I have so far? Is it possible to take the other person's insurance to court also? Any and every piece of advice will help, thank you.
unfortunately, there was no report made because there were no injuries. They said, if no injuries, it becomes a civil case.
and do I take the insurance or the person liable for the accident to court...?
