I had my car hit in the parking lot of Futureshop 2 years ago while working on boxing day. It was hit by a delivery truck.
All the staff's cars were parked in the no parking loading zone per store managements instructions. The truck struck my car and peeled of the rear bumper trying to manouver into the loading dock.
The only reason why this claim wasn't considered 50/50 is because the truck driver wasn't the smartest knife in the drawer.
I managed to use a demo digital camera to take pics and print them instantly on a demo printer. I then wrote a statement saying that my vehicle was unmanned and stationary and that the truck drove into my car causing the damage.
The truck driver signed the statement and backs of the printed pictures stating that the storey was true and not fabricated by myself. I also had 2 witnesses sign and date as a precaution.
My insurance company told me that this evidence was the only reason why the claim didn't go on my record at all.
Funny thing was, truck driver tried to pay me $50 to not report it. I was lucky because it was as he was arriving so he had to stay while the truck was being unloaded.
I attempted to solve the situation without going through insurance but desepite the evidence I presented to the trucking company they basically told me to go to hell and report it.
