Sisters Accord totaled

It’s very easy for a trained officer. I have several police officers in my family and in my circle of friends. They can do it like it’s nothing.

That doesn’t answer the question on how. 2 cars with damage after the accident. That’s all that is left.

A well trained police officer can tell by the damage to the vehicles who is at fault.

I tried to talk them into it, but at her age the payment was just too much. Sometimes you just can't swing it.

Hopefully she can swing another vehicle if she actually needs one.

No they can’t, your friends might say they can but they are just BSing you. I worked in auto insurance claims for years and there’s no way to tell. 2 cars, one has left front damage and the other had rt rear damage. How on earth would they know which one ran the red light?

Moral of the story, carry collision coverage on anything you don’t want to just walk away from. And, a dashcam isn’t a bad idea either.

I suggest you apply to your local police department, become trained, and then respond to this thread.

Insurance employees know nothing about investigative procedures. That’s why insurance companies are constantly getting sued and basically losing every case.

Not sure how an officer, well trained or otherwise definitively knows in this case which of the two ran the red light as claimed? Lacking camera evidence, seems impossible to prove otherwise.
