So I have been in another accident. To date I have been in 5 rear end, not at fault accidents, and have yet to fight over fault of an accident.
Saturday I was involved in an accident. There is a blind corner in my townhouse complex. There is a mirror on the corner so you can see around the corner. I noticed a vehicle oncoming in the mirror. I slowed. Turns out he wasn't checking the mirror, cut the corner, and hit me.
At the scene we agreed he was at fault. I told him not to move so I could get my camera to take pictures of the scene. A neighbour told us to move as we were blocking traffic, and the kid moved his truck, and parked it at his house. After he left I drove to my house. We excanged information and oince again he admitted fault, that he wasnt paying attention, cut the corner, and apologized.
Yesterday I went to ICBC and made my claim and gave my statement to find that he was placing 100% blame on me and that his witness, the guy who told us to move, said I went wide and was going too fast. This witness is a friendly neighbour of his who helped the kid bend the bumper back so he could drive his truck.
I know I should have left my car there and taken pictures of where my car was. I know I should have called the cops. While in shock, he admitted fault and all that slipped my mind.
What can I do from here? I will not accept fault for an accident I am not responsible for. I am claiming he has a biased witness. I am using the pictures I took of all the damage that show I was not hit head on (which if i went wide i would have been) and that I was hit at an angle (which shows when I was in my lane he was cutting across through my lane hitting me at an angle). I am using the fact that he left the scene to clear the road without allowing me to properly document the accident scene.
What else can I do? Should I do?
I will post pics soon.
