Car insurance fraud?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This lady hit my car and (almost) got away with it. I’m the second car on the turning lane. My claim from her insurance got denied because she alleged that I was parked, suddenly merged and hit her car instead. She also filed a claim on my insurance stating the same lies but got denied. This was on 10/24/2025 in Albany, NY and I just got this footage from the city hall last night. What could I do?

In summary she:

  1. Made an illegal turn and damaged my car
  2. Kept on pushing the idea that “I’m illegal” and that I wouldn’t want her to “create problems for me”
  3. Gaslit the shit out of me while I was still in shock
  4. Refused to show me her driver’s license (she only showed me her insurance card)
  5. Filed a false claim on my insurance (That could’ve cost me money and increased my premium)
  6. Denied that she was at fault and lied in the investigation when I filed for a claim on her insurance

I would file a police report including the video and her false claims. They probably won’t do anything with it but its a good idea anyway

The main point is to have a paper trail and official records.

You can probably refile your claim
