A Canada Post mail truck hit me today. Three days of having a new car, and I'm on my way to therapy, and I get hit.
I
was in my lane (the left) so that I could turn left at the next street.
The mail truck veered into my lane. He claims I went into his lane, and
that he was going to be turning right (so...why was he in the centre
lane?)
The police officer said he couldn't determine who was at
fault, so the insurance will battle it out. However, the person at the
car dealership (where my cars repairs are taking place), said that the
police will still assign fault. We think it's either going to be the
mail guys fault (why was he in the centre when he was turning right? I
was in the left turning left), or 50/50.
My car can be fixed, at
least, but it might not be until January. My dad is saying he'll get me
a rental as my Christmas gift, and my aunt is willing to help with
costs. But if the report comes back and I'm not at fault at all, the
other insurance should pay for my rental. I don't know all the details
yet, I just know something will be figured out. Plus my car might not
take that long to fix, it depends on if there is damage to the
suspension.
No one was hurt. The air bag didn't even deploy. I'm pretty angry though, obviously.
