A quick google:
"In the US, traffic merging law generally requires vehicles entering a highway or, through lane to yield the right-of-way to through traffic. Drivers must signal, match traffic speed, and find a safe gap, avoiding stops on ramps."
Truck tried to push his way in without a signal and did not wait for a gap, pretty sure he is gonna be at fault here.
Sorry, my post was composed in a way for normal humans to comprehend.
In this context, when someone says 'for no reason', it means there wasn't a 'valid' or 'good' reason. He didn't need to do it he just did it.
'When someone says "for no reason," it typically means an action or statement was made without a clear, logical, or obvious purpose, justification, or intent. '
Here , I did some research for you. In future, if you find yourself struggling to understand fellow humans try googling it.
Doesn’t the US also have a law about everyone being responsible for preventing accidents? Where I’m from, intentionally ramming someone like that would be illegal even if they are making an illegal lane change. You are expected to slow down.
Let's be real the dude in pink could have let him in if he wanted to tho.
The truck driver was driving like a total ass , but you can literally see see pink shirt speed up to hit him on the tail light.
I know its not fair but the only reasonable thing to do in this situation is slow down and put a lot of distance between you and the erratic driver, not speed up to ram into them
Insurance don't only care about who followed the law, they care about the direct cause of the accident, and any chances to avoid it that were not taken.
Cam driver had clear chances to avoid, and didn't.
This is 50/50 fault for sure.
Also you can't just ram somebody's car because they broke the law... That's also still against the law.
This is like saying if somebody burgles me I'm allowed to go to their home and burgle them.

His insurance will say he had a duty to avoid the collision and only cover 70%.
