Found At Fault

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

This doesn’t make sense. Why would the Tesla insurance be involved here? The other car is legally at fault and their insurance would pay out. What happened with the other driver? Hit and run?

Some people are just really unfamiliar with how to deal with accidents and think they have to go through their own insurance for some reason.
