Today, I got into a car accident. The other driver was going so fast that when we hit, our cars positioned themselves to make it look like it was all my fault. He keeps blaming me for everything and the position of the cars doesn't help. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got into a car accident that was my fault. The other driver was my professor. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML
Today, while driving to work, some asshole stopped sharply on the 60 mph highway because he almost hit the car in front of him. Even with maintaining my distance, and slamming on the brakes, I still ruined the front end of my car on his dented bumper. I haven't even had the car for a year, and I'm still the one at fault. FML
Today, I was driving home when a guy crashed into me from behind. I got out of my car and told him that I was going to call the cops. He then asked me if we could move to a corner because we were blocking the way, so we then got back in to move. I looked in the mirror to see him driving off. FML
Today, while at a stop light, I was rear-ended by a car behind me. The guy got angry at me, because according to him, I should've known that his car has poor braking distance, and so I should've moved forward a few more feet to compensate. FML
Today, I let my boyfriend drive my car, knowing that he doesn't have a license. While he was out, he ran a stop sign, collided with another vehicle, and then left the scene of the accident. Then he lied to me about how the accident happened so I "wouldn't be so upset." FML
Today, I rear-ended a car while I was texting about the accident ahead which was causing all the traffic. FML
Today, I decided to be a good driver and not run through the yellow light. As soon as I stopped my car another came and rear-ended me. The guy told me to go in the parking lot so we can exchange information. So I drove into the parking lot, I turned my head and watched him drive away. FML
Today, while arguing with my boyfriend about how I wasn't a bad driver and could parallel park, I thought it would be easier to just let him do it. Unfortunately, while getting out of the car to switch seats, I forgot to take the car out of drive and it ran into the car in front of us. He was right. FML
Today, a car backed into mine. I thought that was pretty bad, until another car backed into me right after I'd finished taking the first guy's info. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should explain what happened because usually the actions leading up to the accident can help explain what happened. Also there may be marks on the pavement to explain tire movement.

I hate people that can't take responsibility for their actions.

They will check the tread marks and everything if it is th at bad. they won't go on someone else's word alone

But wouldn't the collision points on either car hint at who hit who? Even if he T-boned you so hard that you ended up facing him in a T-bone position, the whole front of his car would be totally destroyed, where your car would have the most damage on one side. Maybe I'm thinking about it wrongly.

I investigate traffic accidents like this for a living. There will be a lot of evidence in the roadway, in the damage of the cars, and even stored in the SDM (airbag module) of the cars. Any competent investigation will have to look at all of that in order to reach conclusions that are supported by both the evidence and science. For now - take a ton of pictures of both vehicles, both overall shots and closeups of the damage and be sure to put a tape measure in the shots for scale. If the airbags in either vehicle deployed, or if either one is a GM vehicle even without a deployment, be sure you have your insurance company save the SDMs even if they allow the cars to be scrapped/sold. Two years from now when the cars are gone and the case goes to trial, you'll be glad you did.

I would also like to add about taking pictures of the driver of the other vehicle as well. Just so they don't come back claiming injures when they were perfectly fine at the scene. Happened to myself one time but I had pictures of him walking around and laughing at how he plowed right into us before the cops took him away to give him a drug test.

To continue this little thread about the importance of pictures, keep a disposable camera in your glove compartment. Your cell phone may have a camera, but you'll be shit out of luck if it breaks in the crash.

Holy cow, the exact same thing happened to my fiancé and I today. My advice, which the police suggested we do, is to let the insurance company take care of it. They'll analyze both vehicles and eventually find out he was guilty.

That has happened to me before. F your life OP!

Hopefully there were cameras or other witnesses nearby to corroborate your side OP.

in some states if the police are called they will give citations for drivers that cause accidents because they are distracted or not following laws. and a police report carries a lot of weight with insurance companies.

At least for my insurance, you have to submit a before & after diagram of what happened. If you say the other person was speeding it should help.
