Dunno Shawn, but they once claimed that it was my fault that I got rearended by a truck driver for stopping at a yellow light. Their reason was that within a mile I had changed lanes which somehow apparently made it my fault that the other driver did not wish to obey the law.

Well that looks interesting, glad they got it taken care of. I know around here you would def get the deductible back, heck I know a lot of companies out here that would not have even billed you the deductible. Prob warned you it could happen but not have hit you up front for it.

Well NY is a no fault state. I am sure that if I was sitting in it even with it being legally parked, his insurance would have said that I was partially at fault. Luckily, I was in my office and one of the Buildings and Grounds guys came in to tell me that it looked like it was hit. The B&G guys were moving stuff out of the building before we moved.

I can say in MA its usually that way, but I actually got out of one once because the other driver was being an idiot lol. Used Car and Driver reviews to proove my point too. Insurance company was shocked that someone would actually dig out the specs from indipendent experts (As I called Car & Driver as well as Motor Trend) and did the math to prove that the scenario the other driver put forth was not possible. Got me covered and I didnt have to pay out the deductible as they determined because of it that it was his driving that caused the accident.
