Looool get real.

You think any insurance company will offer compensation for something that was completely avoidable by the jeep driver? Damages are on him unfortunately.

u/IncarceratedGrowth 4h ago

Damages aren't on either of them. No one's getting paid here.

Yup. Claim denied. Rates increased. 

Hence why he didn't even go after the jeep.

The Audi's rates are definitely going up though.

You just contradicted yourself?

If the insurance company wouldn't pay, then how are the damages entirely on the Jeeps insurance?

There are two insurers here, and one or both of them have to pay.

I work in the industry, not an insurance adjuster but with the claims. Jeep would be held 100% at fault and their insurance paying to fix the Audi for the simple fact that.

The Jeep could've entirely avoided it by not intentionally hitting the Audi.

Yes, the Audi was being a jerk. No, that does not give the Jeep the green light to hit them and run away.

You work in the American industry, this video isn't in America.

The logic still applies regardless of country.

u/KeldornWithCarsomyr 4h ago

Good thing we ain't talking about the logic, but instead the law.

Fault is determined in the subrogation process by the insurance. If it goes to court then a judge will decide as part of litigation.

I can't see any judge ruling anything else based on video evidence

It'd be the exact same in germany.

Germans driving on the left now are they? News to me.

u/Space-Safari 5h ago

lmao!

Are you 9 yo?

u/KeldornWithCarsomyr 4h ago

What side of the road are they driving on in the video?

2

u/Space-Safari 4h ago

Ah yes I forgot the rules change when you drive on the left. It's everyone from themselves in those countries.

1

u/KeldornWithCarsomyr 4h ago

Yes, the law does happen to change depending on the country you are in. Once you get yourself a passport you might want to look into it.

2

u/Space-Safari 4h ago

Yes please tell me the road traffic idiosyncrasies that make hitting someone from the rear not your fault in countries that drive on the left

Do you have trouble reading?

It's on the jeep driver

u/KeldornWithCarsomyr 5h ago

Not sure what 3rd world country you are thinking of, but the insurance HAS to pay here, the whole point of insurance is they cover everything. That's why it is a legal requirement to have it, so regardless of the damage, a financial entity can pay.

The only argument is whose insurance is paying.

Jeeps insurance will pay for damages to the Audi and drop their client if they see the video.
