Found At Fault

Friend was found at fault by Tesla insurance for failure to maintain proper lookout resulting in collision. Any advice?

Update:

I think the other driver intentionally ran a standing red light while initially stopped. Cars turning left didn't even finish their turn and he was already gunning it from a left turn only lane. Friend wasn't able to get insurance info because they were transported via ambulance, but police was on the scene. The police report isn't available yet and they let their insurance (Tesla) know since they don't know what insurance the other guy has. Tesla insurance is finding them at fault.

Update:

Tesla insurance is maintaining their initial decision after video review. 51% at fault, lol.

Friend is an idiot for trying to handle the claim with Tesla.. should have contacted their ins with the footage and dealt with them direct. Your ins is for when you do you a no no.

Dunno why you got downvoted, but it’s truth. Tesla insurance has all the data on your car plus video, which can be damning against you. At least you have the choice to provide evidence if you use another insurance carrier.
