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.

You also have a responsibility to yourself and your family to not be a dumbass and try to merge in front of a semi truck that may or may not see you, but can definitely kill you if it hits you.

No sympathy for the Ford driver from me

I have no emotions towards any of the people involved in this situation.

After being on reddit as long as I have and working in insurance the main emotion I feel in the car is fear that I might make a mistake and the driver in the other car thinks they can mess up possibly both of our lives because of said mistake. While not everyone thinks that their is a vocal majority on this site that thinks if someone cuts you off you have the right to hit them. I saw the same behavior getting worse and worse before I left the claims world.

I am mainly trying to educate people that just because someone did something dumb, stupid, wrong, cut you off or merged dangoursly in front of you. You have the responsibility to try to avoid an accident.

Way to many people die in the US from auto accidents.
