Salam everyone. Hope you're all doing well. I'll start off by thanking Allah for saving me. It is like a second life.
I had an accident. Time was late night, 3am something. I wanted to know who the blame falls on and what are the chances of compensation, etc.
There was a T-junction, I was turning to the right from the center of the 'T'. I came in slow and was turning when a Prado or LC came and hit me from the right going left. He was above 100 on a slow road, residential area. The signals lights were yellow, blinking; not working as during day.
He hit me (88 Corolla), impact was on front and rear door (driver's side). The car was lifted over the 1 foot island(green belt) in between and spun.
Do you guys think I can claim damages? The right of way was for the LC guy first. He did a 'hit and run' though. Does that mean anything for my case? We did a FIR and all.
I have a few of these questions related to the police case process, damage claims and determination of guilt, etc. Would really appreciate if you guys could help me out. Thanks in advance!
P.S. The car is really strong, took direct impact. If it was a new Corolla or Civic or something, I doubt I'd be typing this.
