I'm the one whose wife got backed into at a parking lot. Other driver apologized and begged my wife to not turn it into her insurance as her rates would go up. Early the next morning we got a call saying that she had filed and was charging my wife with causing the accident. We have been through ten days of filing reports, taking pictures, writing statements and generally arguing with people about what happened. My insurance company called yesterday to say that based on the damage and the possible scenarios that would have caused it, it was obvious that my wife was "fault-free" and the other driver was "100% responsible." A few minutes later, I got a call from the other insurance company to say that they could not tell whose fault it was but were offering me a 50% "good faith" adjustment to make me go away.
Seems like you can't be 50% responsible. It was our fault or their clients fault. It isn't the money but I do hate to be taken advantage of. I want them to come clean and pay for the damage their client did. Anybody had a situation like this and have a suggestion of how to accomplish this?
