In courts here in Delaware if defendant is found against them blame is
apportioned. You do not sue for a dollar value but essentially for
damages. If it were determined that it was 90% her fault, as most here
would agree, she might recover 10% of the damages.

From my limited experence in NC traffic laws if even 1 percent of an
accident is your fault, then it is up to each driver to fix their own
car.
Say you are going down the road and decide to turn in a drive way,
there is a minimum distance where you are suppose to turn on the turn
signal. If someone rams you from behind, it is still partly your fault
if you did not signal atleast that far ahead of time.

Sounds like Mexican traffic law. Whoever is still at the scene when the
cops arrive is the party at fault.
One of my DC cop buddies said if they pulled up on a property damage
accident and anyone wanted them to write a report they were giving
everyone a ticket. Usually they decided they could deal with it
themselves.

And what if my insurance company requires an accident report? Are the fat ****ers too busy inhaling donuts?
