UPDATE: Insurance just got back to me, updated liability to a 50/50 split since he had the right of way, but he also caused the accident by accelerating. I think it was a fair assessment.

I'd appreciate full honesty, I can take it. I turned out of a parking lot into the closest lane (which is a turn lane) and needed to merge left to go straight through a traffic light. I accelerated to give some distance with my blinker on and merged really slowly. You can see the Silverado driver then accelerates (I believe to block me from merging) and hits my left bumper cover and quarter panel.

I'll admit it was a tight gap, but we were going slow with all the traffic and because the light had just turned green. Because he's established in his lane, he has the right of way, but generally disrupting right of way requires someone to brake or swerve. If he had just stayed the course we would have all been fine, but instead he sped up after I was entering the lane. Thoughts?
