Any witnesses/dashcam Footage Anyone may have captured of my accident?
Hi all, I am a 29M driver who has driven for 10 years, this is my second accident. I am seeking help, as a last resort because I've been blamed to be at fault for an accident that I did not at all cause. I feel so helpless by the system. My dashcam SD Card slot was faulty and i did not know that while driving and it did not record my accident at the time of impact.
This took place April 12th 4:30PM along Dunearn Road (towards Newton Flyover). I was driving a blue BYD atto 3 along lane 1 at 70km/hr, closest to the canal. Another grey BYD Seal driver, was u-turning did not stop at the stop line to give way to me and impacted my driver side and passenger door ripping my passenger door almost half off, while his car had only slight bumper and a cracked headlight. I suffered injuries from this accident also due to airbag deployment, but not severe.
This video footage is from the other driver who hit me. I know it looks like I crossed the double white line, but I never did. I was always in Lane 1 since before SCGS. The frame where my car fully comes into the video is slightly after he has impacted my right rear side, pushing my rear forward, turning the direction of my car drifting to the right, making it seem like i crossed the double white line and lane changed to hit him. That is not at all true.
My workshop claims that i am disadvantaged as I have no footage and it looks like I lane-changed into him instead. But I can't believe they would find me more at fault for that then someone who doesn't stop at a stop line??
If you passed by and saw the accident/somehow managed to be one of the few vehicles who captured dashcam footage of the incident. Please let me know. My total estimate is 40K repair bill, estimate only, both doors, airbags and sensors all have to be replaced. And in my 10 years of driving, I've only had 1 other accident that was also not my fault (i know all you have to trust is hearsay, but i never had demerit points or speeding fines before).
Every time i talk to my insurance or workshop i get so stressed from the physcial trauma, and now for the emotional trauma of being held accountable for something i didn't do. The driver also never once asked "am i okay, after the accident", "i'm sorry (that i don't expect but still..), and he left me trapped in my vehicle for 10+ mins while he was busy calling other people and taking videos of his own vehicle quite far behind mine.
Insurance is still pending liability, but Personal injury claim has been denied.
TLDR: Got into an accident, if you passed by Dunearn Road, near Swiss Cottage Estate on April 12th at around 4:30PM and saw an accident please let me know, as I'm currently being blamed by the driver and the system for it being my fault when it wasn't at all.
Edit: Realized I can't upload the video here. Just have to do without it IG.
