So last month my wife and I were involved in a car accident in our 2015 Honda CR-V. We had our 1 year old son in the car as well. Thankfully we are all okay, and have sustained no longterm injuries.
Our car was fixed very promptly by our insurance, and the other driver that hit us was cited, and while speaking to my insurance he admitted that the accident was his fault.
I was making a U-Turn and had my left blinker on, while in the 'suicide' lane he t-boned me and caused damage to bothe drivers side doors. Thankfully no frame damage. And the bill was a little over $6,000 to fix the car.
My insurance has determined that I am 0% responsible for the accident according to my statement, the other driver's statement, and the police report in which the other driver was cited for following too close.
When my insurance sent the information to the other insurance company. The other drivers insurance is claiming the accident is my fault because I was making an Illegal U-turn. But the police report says I was making a legal u-turn. Also I find it weird that the other insurance company has not contacted me.
So now my insurance is sending the claim to arbitration. What is this process? and is there anything else that I should be doing?
