Just make sure you're very firm with the insurance company and don't tolerate any of their bullshit. Accidents suck and insurance companies make it even worse.
The insurance is the only thing im worried about at this point because even though he did pass through the intersection on a red light, its still technically my fault because its state law that people turning have to wait for all oncoming traffic to stop.

technicality is such bullshit though. it ignores the reality of what i went through, which is that the light was yellow for me and red for him.

im still going to get a nice claim, so says the police and insurance people, but my premiums are going to go up for a few years and now im forced to drive like a nanny while i wait for em to go back down.
