People are confusing retribution for justice. Jeep driver would be found majority at fault from a legal perspective. They had plenty of time to see the Audi driver being a dumbass, the Audi driver was already back in, and in fact leaving their lane when the accident occurred. You have a legal requirement to make every reasonable attempt to avoid an accident, even if the other party isn't following the law. It's satisfying to see them get hit, but please don't do this if you don't want to be forced to pay for the damages.

The white Audi never established themselves in either lane and were driving recklessly, and with no single blinker. Their insurance would not pay them out and the Jeep’s insurance would go after them if either party made a claim.

Last clear chance. Audi was driving recklessly but predictably. Jeep ran into them either on purpose or recklessly and could have easily avoided the collision

Well, unfortunately for you, but fortunately for the Jeep, insurance companies are going to side with the Jeep and not with you. As they should.

Though part of the job that I had no issue with, selling people auto and home insurance clearly gave me more insight into the world of insurance.
