You could be right as I have no history/experience dealing with this type of thing but if that is true that sounds like a garbage way to do things.
With the road conditions, fact that she never hit his car and no proof that he "cut her off", I can't see how he would be responsible for anything let alone 100%.
To me if someone spins out on the road with no evidence of any wrong doing by another driver other than changing lanes it would be insanely presumptious to blame said driver for changing lanes. Especially considering the crap drivers out there that turn into morons at the first sign of snow.
