who is at fault when :a) a passenger opens door and jumps out of vehicle onto the road with traffic. b) he gets hit by a car travelling in the adjoining lane. c) traffic lights were green. d) pedestrian crossing was further up and indicated "no crossing" light e) the vehicle that he exited from leaves the scene as soon as accident occurred. f) no charges have been laid after police filed report g) insurance company insists that rates will increase although no charges laid and the injured "pedestrian" has acknowledged that he jumped out of the vehicle suddenly without warning etc.?
Shouldnt the vehicle that this person exited from be liable?
My friend had a similar situation. A taxi driver stop and then the passenger open the door and hit her car and broke the side mirror.
When she renew her insurance. She notice there is a big increase.
The insurance company told her that she had an accident claim.
She complaint that it wasn't her fault. But the insurance company say a accident is a accident, it doesn't matter who is at fault.
It seem like every insurance company treat insurance claim different.
You should check with other insurance company and see if you can get better price.
