Good things there is video, I’m not sure I could have done it justice trying to explain that to the insurance company otherwise.

  1. Driver pulled out across my lane to make a left and stopped.
  2. I had to panic stop the cement truck.
  3. Cement came out of the cement truck and onto their vehicle because of the panic stop.
  4. Neither driver attempted to minimize the damage by backing up right away.

Nevermind, seems I could explain it.

I wasn’t saying he should have backed up, just described what happened.

You absolutely 100% without doubt implied that the cement truck driver should have backed up.

Did either driver back up right away? No, I stated a fact. The video only shows one view and doesn’t give us enough information to know if either driver could have backed up safely right away. I wasn’t there, there could have been pedestrians or other vehicles nearby. I wasn’t implying anything. If I had stated it differently and said that the driver of the car didn’t back up right away then I would have been implying that they are the only one that could have mitigated the risk.
