Insurance company will determine fault based on the events and impact. Depending on who had ownership of the lane. If your son was on that lane for a certain amount of time and the other car had the option and time to stop then it would be the other driver's fault. If your son pull out and the other driver attempted to stop and couldn't due to your son pulling out suddently in front of him, then the faults is your sons. However the insurance will make his interpretation based on your sons side of the events transpired. And the other driver's insurance will do the same. Depending on if the insurances agree on fault it will be resolved between the insurance companies else it will go to a mediator.
Good luck

It is usually the person who hit the other one from behind who is at fault - sometimes that doesn't hold true if one car is considered the "primary vehicle" in the road but it sounds like it's not your son's fault since he was the one who got hit - officer at the scene should have given them both tickets and charged one with the accident.

Turning in to on coming traffic from a drive or side street is one of the most often cited accidents. Rear end collisions are next but not #1.

well if damians law is correct in which it states that the correctable returns are adhesive to the higher power then the fault rests in the armentum behavior of the detrimented driver. Last time i checked Newtons law states that objects in motion stay in motion and the car is a fantastic atrimony of the partition. with out the correctable braking farmonics aligned to a tidbit, the cars motion would be impossible to speclude or even reduce for that matter.

in Australia your son would be at fault.
it is not legal to perform any traffic manoeuvre which causes any approaching vehicle to have to brake.
the reasoning being that your son ought to wait for a sufficiently large gap in the traffic to enter the road without other drivers needing to take evasive action (braking or otherwise).
in this case it seems the other driver swerved to change lanes, unaware that doing so was the wrong evasive action.

Sounds like your Son pulled in front of this car, thereby failing to yield the right of way to oncoming traffic. He is at fault.

I think its your sons because if your turning in to the middle lane, he must yield. Oncoming traffic has the right of way.

from the sound of things it was your sons fault but it depends on the state law and exactly where and what angle he was hit. But the main thing it depends on is the police officer who investigated the accident scene.

Hard to say.. If your son didn't look before pulling out, or if the guy was speeding.. There are so many situations..
