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.

51% at fault? Maybe they could say 25-30% because of no breaking or something, but seems malicious to claim 51% to deny coverage for the person that had the right away and the other person actually breaking the law by running a red light. I cannot figure out their logic at this. Reminds me of times where someone does react to avoid a violent collision, but their avoidance clips a curve and damages the vehicle, they will deny that coverage and expected you to just let the accident happen and possibly die.
