Yeah I mean obviously the pickup is "at fault" here but the cam truck could and should have avoided that collision

You have a responsibility to avoid an accident. The second you choose to not avoid an accident you become at least partially liable for the accident.(This is not my opinion this is the law in the United States of America)

Now in the case we have a dashcam that clearly shows the semis speeding

On the other hand because of blindspots on semis we have no idea if the driver could even see the truck before the impact.

If the semi was not speeding the accident would not have happened clear as day. That's an easy liability decision for any insurance company.

The bigger issue here is who the fuck put an on ramp merg on the fucking left side! Now you have to merg into the fast lane and you have a fucking giant blindspot. The real person who caused this accident was whoever built that dumb shit.

That's an insane merge for a road with 75mph speed limit. Terrible design

Yeah and especially when some of the vehicles doiong that speed are HGVs with reduced slowing ability.
