| Car Accident, hit from the side, no witnesses, now what?
So this morning i got into a car accident where another party tried to merge into my lane but ended up merging into my car instead. Problem is that we don't have any witnesses. Who would be at fault here and why?

The person merging, because you are supposed to make sure its safe before merging or changing lanes.

From the sounds of the damage to your car that you've described, I think it would be pretty hard for the other party to bullshit their way out of this one

Get a fake witness. Everyone else does it, so why not you too?

hmm so this person was on your left? I can see some crazy stories from this other driver when it comes to ICBC, my bet is 50/50 since there are no witnesses

well ur going straight, the lady is merging to your lane; therefore, you have the right of way.
just curious though...what was that stupid lady yelling at u for? for not letting her merge? or for driving right next to her at that time of the day instead of staying home?

Typical women response: Its YOUR fault that I hit you because you should have super fast reflexes when I merge without shoulder checking. Asshole.

Just report to ICBC. Tell your side of the story. If the damage is significant on your car then it's pretty clear that it's her fault. Plus the adjuster will see it pretty obviously. But one question. did you take any pictures of the "incident" right after you've been hit?

If I recall correctly there's a police station on columbia in New West. So depending on where the accident occured, the cop may have been passing by

Basically, if the other person says that you changed lanes into them and you have no witnesses, you could be stuck with a 50/50 split here, as it would be your word against there...although the curbed wheels may change the outcome...
But just because your wheels are curbed doesn't mean that, hypothetically, you were changing lanes, hit her and then swung back to the right and hit the curb.
Hopefully the other driver got a ticket from the cop for unsafe lane change or there are some witnesses and this is sorted out

This happened to me and I got fucked by ICBC. 50/50 just because there were no witnesses and they were unable to prove at-fault by the damage on both cars.
