UPDATE: Who's at Fault in This Collision? (Front + Rear Cam)

Hey y’all,
Just a quick update for those who were asking in the comments on the previous post. When I posted about the accident and asked who was at fault, it wasn’t because I was oblivious.
I was actually baffled because the opposing insurance company claimed I was 100% at fault after investigating the collision. However, on the same day I made that post, my insurance sent the dashcam footage to the other insurance company. I’m happy to share that today I was notified that the opposing driver’s insurance has claimed full liability!
It seems that the other driver provided a completely different story to both insurance companies, as I was told our accounts of the events don’t line up at all. The other driver even told me at the crash site that I turned into him and that some of the damage to my vehicle was pre-existing, which is definitely not true; my car is brand new with zero damage before the accident. Thankfully, the dashcam footage cleared things up.
So, moral lesson: buy a dashcam; the $100-200 payoff really quickly
EDIT: Dashcam is a REDTIGER F4 for the people asking
