Generally speaking the person opening the door is At Fault. I personally know of a couple of such cases and both times the door opener was at fault and at least one of the people was ticketed by the police.

Whose fault is it if you are making a left hand turn on a green arrow and you get hit on the passenger front fender?

It is generally the fault of the other person if you are hit in a front fender while making a turn on a green arrow. If you have the signal to make a turn, the other person generally does not have the green light as well.

Does a passenger in a car accident have to file a claim with their own insurance company?

When a passenger is injured in an automobile accident, and the driver of the automobile of which he/she is the passenger of, is "at Fault" for the accident, the passenger of that vehicle has the legal right to file a claim against that drivers insurance carrier. If on the other hand, the driver of the other vehicle is "at fault", then the passenger of vehicle that is "not at fault", has the legal right to file a claim against the other driver's insurance carrier. And whenever there are injuries sustained in an automobile accident, you should contact personal injury attorney or law firm to represent you against the filing of your claim against any insurance carrier. "At fault" accidents are not final just because a citation has been issued. When a carrier receives a claim against their company, they will launch their own investigation of the cause of accident, and review the police report, and speak with any independent and passenger witnesses who can provide statements concerning how the accident happened.At the end of the carrier's investigation, which will also include, taking pictures of both of the vehicles damages, will compile all of the information they get, to try to determine at that point, who was at fault. If their insured is determined to be at fault, the carrier will pay the claim for which the passenger has filed against them. If the carrier determines that the other driver was at fault, then the carrier will not pay the claim and deny liability. If this happens, the passengers legal representatives will automatically withdraw their lawsuit filed on your behalf, and file the lawsuit against the other drivers insurance carrier.I was in a one car accident where the car ran off the road to avoid hitting something. I was the passenger of the car. If my medical insurance from my job pay for the my hospital bills is the insurance company intitle to pay me back the money even though my insurance covered itIn the UK - the passenger would make a claim against the driver at fault. This driver would pass the details to his insurer who would indemnify him for the claim made against him. A passenger could not make a claim against his own insurer. To see the process for making a claim in the UK see the related link entitled "motor vehicle accident".


Who is at fault if the driver in front of you makes an illegal U turn and you hit them?

BOTH drivers are in violation. The other driver for making an illegal turn, and you for driving without due caution or following too closely.


Who is at fault if both vehicles are backing out of a parking lot in spaces across from each other witnesses say you were both moving backwards at the same time but the other driver saw you first?

When you are the no fault driver and the other drivers insurance wants to pay your damages can they check your dmv records before they issue your check?

Absolutely not. They should not even be asking for your drivers license number. The information the other drivers company would need is your insurance companies information and then they hash out all the details. Your record, be it DUI, wreckless driving, etc, does not affect their payment since their insured is at fault.
