no. the car pulled out to make a left turn without looking and the truck had the right of way. -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 17, 12:49 7
- pfft. "right of way." Have you met any lawyers? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 12:50 6
  - Corporate auto policies have huge limits. Car driver will have a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) and never work again. Millions in settlement - Pippy-with a side eye Feb 17, 13:07 5
    - Now I'm curious if this actually comes to pass in this case. I expect more of a willy wonka-esque YOU GET NOTHING. YOU LOSE. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:13 4
      - Nevada has a law if you are 51% or more at fault, you get nothing. A jury has to decide though -- nm - Pippy-with a side eye Feb 17, 13:48 2
        
        the car in front of me pulled forward from a stop sign and turned left into the Fedex truck, your Honor -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 17, 14:06 1
        
        A stop sign?! Dude, you are Fed Ex’s only hope. Unless they got a dash cam - Pippy-with a side eye Feb 17, 14:09
      - Depends on the state and the laws. CA, NJ, TX great places for a plaintiff. No fault states and a lot of the south, the returns aren't worth it - jnine Feb 17, 13:25
