I was driving on a 2 lane highway (1 lane opposite direction), A working crew completely obstructed the lane I was driving in with a tree chipper. No signs, flagmen, cones whatsoever. Heavy sunglare caused me to see the chipper too late to realize it wasn't moving and I struck it. My car is totaled, chipper is ok. Police wrote in report that crew was at fault for obstucting traffic and illegally parking. Crew's insurance says I hit a stationary object. Thinking about going to court to settle who is more negligent. Your opinion, who's at fault?

I would say that you are primarily at fault. Everyone needs to drive their car so that they can keep it in control and be able to stop when necessary.
