Foucs on the fact that she was going over the speed limit or what was safe for conditions, as the "she should have seen me and avoided me" option doesn't work. My EX was T-boned and like you the question was brought up "why didn't she try to avoid hitting me?" Well, ultimately she/you were in their travel lane and they hit you entering their lane.

Wish you all the best and I hope for your sake the car is totalled.

I hate bushes like that. I see them everywhere. They serve no purpose other than to dangerously block your view of oncoming traffic.

I don't get how this accident happened. It sounds like you were entering a mall roundabout and you 'pulled out a little' and she smacked you. If so, how was it a front end collision? Seems it should have been a hit in the left front quarter panel rather than a frontal crash. Just curious on the dynamics of the crash.
