Hey guys, I need some information related to a parking lot collision.
So I was currently involved in a collision where I believe that I had the right of the way. I have attached an image to this thread where its clearly indicated which direction I was travelling in (black - me) and where the other person (yellow - BMW) was going. I reported it to my insurance and found out 2 days later that the other driver told something else to their insurance company which basically conflicts my story. I have now sent this image to my adjuster, but I'd like to know all of your opinions on this point. Who has the right of the way in here? (there is no stop sign for either one of us)
There are 2 kinds of lanes: THOROUGHFARE LANE and FEEDER LANE
Thoroughfare lane basically has the right of the way - it is a lane that directly exits the parking lot
Feeder lane doesn't have the right of the way and obviously doesn't directly exit the parking lot. It usually connects to a major road in the parking lot in order to exit the parking area.
I know I had the right of the way (black), according to all the research I did about these lanes but I want more opinions from you guys and esp any insurance adjustors to help me understand this more.
I do not want the other person to blame everything on me, I followed the rules of the parking lot meanwhile the other person was speeding because she was late for her meeting. Your opinions will really matter. Thank you guys!
