So who is at fault for this accident
My daughter was driving down the street and approached an itersection.
There is no stop sign at this intersection and this is a blind intesection. She proceeded to take a left at the intersectin and there was no visual traffic coming. when she was 1/2 thru, she saw a car coming and the other party sweved over to the left side of the road to avoid my daughter (instead of simply stopping) and hit my daughter's car broadside. I would think that since the bumper of the oher persons car hit my daughter broadside then the other party would be responsible Any oppinions here? M |

My daughter was at the bottom of the T going up and the other party going left to right on the top of the T No stop signs and we are in Masachusetts. |

So who is at fault for this accident
Why do you think Im a troll? I'm simply asking an oppinion about this
accident that could cost me a fortune if my daughter is found at fault. I recently posted about the bent wheel on the Grand Marquis. I know what trolls are, they are jerks and I don't consider myself in that category.

I do not know about MA. Does the double yellow on the other road continue through the intersection without a break? nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

Whether or not there is an assumed stop sign may make a difference in the out come but my daugter stopped before trying to go left. We all stop there. It is natural to stop there. The fact is that the other parties front bumper plowed into my daughter's front wheel and door broad side so I figured that would be good enough. |

If she stopped and looked before proceeding, one of two things happened, either she missed a vehicle she should have seen or the other driver was traveling faster than he could see. I am guessing that your ins. co. will end up sorting this out - or the police, if they feel like issuing someone a citation. nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |
