State farm is a piece of shit. My insurance company is with AAA. Recently I got into a car accident driving down the same road I've been doing for years. One day, this car in front of me, we were all going 43 mph, sped up and tried to maneuver a left lane change. We were both on the right lane. The car, half way changing, suddenly braked, immediately. Therefore to prevent myself from running into him, I had to stop and turn the wheels of my car to the right so my car was diagonal preventing me from hitting him. We were inches apart and my safe maneuver saved me from getting into a car accident. BUT, after my car was completely stopped, 3 secs later I hear a long honk coming from behind me, in the same lane I was in. BAM, the lady behind me slammed into my car.
Now as I riled a claim to States farm, which was her insurance co, they said they will not pay for the damage cuz I violated the cvc or w/e code, the right lane change code. I told them repeatedly that I did not change lanes, even if I were to to prevent my accident, there were no cars so it was obviously her fault. They kept asking me for sure if I knew she was in the same lane as me, and I repeatedly answered YES I TURNED AROUND AFTER THE IMPACT AND SHE WAS IN THE SAME LANE DUH? Well guess what? They still don't agree. They refused to pay for the damage delt to my car, cracked bumper and paint scratched off, and she got to go away, dirt free. Oh btw, my car is 1996 black toyota camery, very old and the paint that was scratched off is VERY noticeable. Her car wasn't even dented! So is this justice?
She ran into my car seconds before I stopped. I get a broken bumper and an accident report on my record, and she goes away WITH NOTHING? WTF IS THIS? FUCK YOU STATES BARN!
btw I'm still battling with them. And I do plan on suing them if this case is not handled properly. Wish me luck...
