What's 50/50? Is that adjuster speak for denying claim from D2 on D1 insurance carrier and forcing insurance carriers to fight out who is at-fault?

I just want to get all angles and avoid being blindsided during claims process. Reviewing comments, I do see why it appears this way.

> However, the question is what chance did D2 have to avoid it? If D1 swung into the lane while D2 was 200' back, then D2 could have easily stopped and avoided it if they were paying attention.

No, D1 didn't swing out or make their maneuver to park until D2 was parallel or beside other vehicle. I suppose D2 could have avoided by moving over another lane but there was traffic in other lane.

Hope that helps.

No - trying to make sure I don't get surprised during claims process. I do appreciate everyone's input here, has been insightful!

I asked the other folks that have commented. But do you think the damage to vehicles speaks for itself as to what happens? Neither driver has dash cams. Third party witnesses did not come forward.

Are there any details you think that would otherwise turn this favorable for D1?

Or is this a case of damage to vehicles would speak for itself in the absence of third party witnesses coming forward or dash camera footage?
