Hmmm, judging from the tire marks in your first photo, he was over or beyond the white line right around you. As well, you can bring up the point that he was probably going too fast.

However, you may still lose - you were taking a left at the time, and invariably it's on you to make it safely. People making left turns in accidents usually get the fault on them.

Damn, sorry to hear that man, totally sucks. Same thing happened to my brother accident when a dude claimed he wasnt hurt at the time and then decided to change his mine, BS!!!

Was the bumper the only thing hurt? Suspension, frame, engine, etc ok? If its just the bumper then its only a cosmetic problem. You should get an aftermarket bumper for you sedan!! I recently messed up my bumper in an accident too and I think I'm going to get the naristo bumper.

I know that wont make everything better, just the hassle of going through all this accident/legal/money crap can take a toll on you .

Luckily it was only cosmetic to the bumper/grill. My insurance wants $850 to put a new bumper on and paint it, such BS. im just waiting to see what the out come is, its totally not my fault but the insurance companies are taking forever to decide..GRrr

Wow, you can get a bumper already primed from factory on ebay with free shipping for less than $200 and get it painted for probably the same price, even cheaper probably

Here's what probably happened, the insurance would rather pay off the guy who is claiming to be hurt to avoid a law suite from him then actually go with what more proof there is and who is actually right.

You're probably right. Is your neck or back starting to hurt yet?

Talk to a lawyer. Discuss suing him and your insurance agency. Subpoena the cop who interviewed him when he said he was healthy.

+1, esp around here, I can't remember how many times I've been cut off. I wonder if it's due to the Yaris' stubby nose.

i think a dash cam would come especially handy because our gauge cluster is in the center, a camera suctioned to the middle dome light would catch your speed for those times you need to argue a speeding ticket and for traffic accidents over "who was going too fast"

Or just go crazy and get a DVR to record multiple cameras: front, back up,
inside.
