I am thinking the same thing as you guys.

I had forgot to mention, this is where the damage is located. (the rear bumper is our vehicle, front is the other partys)

What happend was, when the guy slammed on his brakes, i guess he tried to dodge it by swerving towards the curbside. Because of this, the damage is slightly offset.

ICBC on the other hand does not believe this. They claim that our vehicle was not 100% straight in the lane which is why the damage is offset.

Then he goes and tells me that any accident related with a lane changer, then lane changer is always 100% at fault.

Everything I bring up, the adjusters manager is telling me to prove it.

So then I asked the adjuster to get the other party to prove that he wasn't driving too close to me. He then tells me the other party does not have to prove anything because we were the ones changing lanes.

They are placing complete blame on us, he believes the other party did absolutely nothing wrong, and will not place any partial fault onto them(25%, 50% etc)
