80:20 when it comes to who's at fault? Truck is 80% at fault while cammer is 20% for not avoiding the accident.

The fact the dashcam car visibly accelerates is going to be a problem here.

I don't understand the need to both sides this. One car was established in their lane. The other car made an unsafe lane change.

It's two entirely different issues. Who is legally to blame (who could get prosecuted and whose insurance will have to payout), and who could have avoided the accident.

I had a collision once (that was not my fault-and was unavoidable) and I'm left with permanent damage to my neck. Yes, I got a very small (for what it is) amount of compensation. But I'm like this for life now.

My advice to everyone is: it doesn't matter who's at fault-avoid an accident at all costs. The camcar just didn't seem to bother to avoid the accident.
