A lady either did not stop at a stop sign or did not yield (I'm not sure) last Friday, and I hit her at the intersection (I did not have a stop sign). Her insurance company is claiming that I am 10% liable because I should have seen her coming, that it is my responsibility to pay attention to drivers on the side streets. I can agree with that, however, the street has houses lining it, which would not allow me to see her coming down the road. I was told at one point that they are basing my liability on the fact that I stated in the recorded statement that I saw her at the "last second". I also stated in the statement that I tried to brake and turn to avoid her, but was unable to. My husband has said to hire an attorney, but I'm know that will cost us more than the 10% that they are not willing to pay at this point. Any advice? What should be my next step?
