what do you think if there was a person crossing instead of the car that he hit? Do you think he would stop?

Meaningless fantasy scenario. That’s not what happened. My crystal ball is in the shop. Talk to an attorney.
I hope your awesome dash cam saves your bacon! It clearly indicates you had stopped in the opposite lane and the other driver just kept on going like he's distracted by a phone or something. Don't worry about it too much, Insurance will make a determination.
thank you for your opinion.

That's a tough one. I'm inclined to go with @Atavar , you entered oncoming traffic lane without it being clear. However, you were clearly stationary for an extended period of time and he failed to avoid an obstruction. Then again, I ain't a lawyer nor do I know the law so our opinions aren't worth much. Did you get a ticket from the police if they investigated it? Talk to your insurance company, show them the tape and see what they think. Get a free consult with an attorney if you can.
thank you for your opinion. The police officers came 3 hours later after the accident and the cars were not in the same place. My attorney has all the documentation.
Attorney is just there to claim my injury.It is free until you win. He is nothing to do with insurance decision

I can't see if the other driver waved you on or not, but why the hell did he drive right into like that? Kinda looks like you were set up. Get an attorney. Maybe they can check the guy's record for other accidents and possible ins fraud.
thank you for your opinion. I feel the same, if you look at the guy, initially he was not moving and waiting until I cross the ongoing lane.

Dayuuum! Looks to me like Mr Dreadlocks saw an opportunity to make some easy green and made the split decision to go for it. 🤑
You crossed over a double yellow to try and get around an obstacle caused by a commercial driver, so there is plenty to consider here, but Stevie Wonder would have seen your vehicle stopped and headlights glaring down the lane, so ya gotta wonder wtf homie was thinking when he decided to accelerate into your car. 💰

Yes if the insurance thinks in the same way like you think, they will call this case as hard car insurance fraud. Which means that, A "drive down" is when a scammer tricks another driver into thinking it's safe to make a left or right turn, or to move then the scammer collides with them.
This will be a big payday for your injury attorney! (And you)

That truck was illegally parked creating an obstruction. That truck driver is partially at fault if that is indeed the case here. That does not look like a loading zone.
However, you do not have the right of way. Oncoming traffic had the right of way, and you must wait for a clear lane to pass.
If I was the traffic cop, I would have ticketed the truck for illegal parking, and ticketed you for failure to yield to oncoming traffic and crossing a double yellow line.
Not what you want to hear… just my opinion. Good luck.

What the the police say when they arrived? Anyone ticketed?
I am not actually looking for payment for my injury. I am not even a person like those who look for easy money and built their life on bs. I am working hard and never accept those easy dollars if I have no effort. I just want them to repair my car free. I talked this to injury attorny because I am really injured after this hit!
