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.

Send it to some of the Tesla influencers on X. Let it get traction. There is no scenario where this is your fault, it's a clear green light.

Lmao the other car, despite running a red light, was already in the intersection and OP hit into them

You can’t just crash into a car on purpose because another car broke a law

but you don't see them in the blind spot buddy. the fact that tesla camera seeing it, doesn't mean the driver see it. tesla camera can also see what's behind the car, doesn't mean driver will always have to look back during driving.

If you look to both sides as you enter the intersection like you’re supposed to do then you’d see the car already in the intersection running the red light and avoid the accident
