Sort of. I was parked at work (not in the vehicle) and a woman just backed right into my car. Sad. I hope it's not too difficult to fix.

She says she has a really high deductible, so she would prefer to pay out of pocket if it's not too high. Gave me her contact information and I'm going to get an estimate tomorrow.

The reason you ask for their information is so you have a guarantee that they arent gonna bail out on paying you for damages out of pocket by giving you false information. Obviously you can verify all of that.. but sometimes it makes it harder to prove that there is an accident where someone is at fault due to technicalities and that type of jazz

Question. If she fails to pay out of pocket, would you be shit out of luck? I tend to not trust people.

You should've at least gotten her insurance information so you can go after them if she doesn't come through.

My guess is you're fucked.

Probably? I doubt it would be worth the trouble of taking her to court. Given she came in and notified me (I didn't even see it happen) and then gave me her contact information, I would hope that doesn't happen.

Yeah, Id say shes probably not gonna scam you, since she did the right thing and notified you in the first place.

Always come out of your vehicle rubbing the back of your neck when you get in an accident.

Got it used with some light damage and did some, uhhh ... repairs. This bumper's seen some shit. I was glad she seemed willing to pay out of pocket, cause I'm worried insurance company would notice and try to screw me over. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, I'll try. Not really great at confrontation and she's a regular who co-workers knew and vouched for, but the whole situation kinda made me feel anxious and passive and that's not great.

She doesn't have to pay a deductible for damage she caused your vehicle, she would only pay that to cover her own damages.

Always get their insurance info

Yeah, a friend was telling me that it doesn't really make sense. Would it make sense if this is a regular thing for her? Oh well, I've been putting it off but I'm gonna have to call her soon.

I remember my first accident. We traded numbers. When I called later they hung up on me.

Good luck TC. Hope you don't learn the hard way.

Girl once took off my side view mirror. Luckily I was waking to my car when it happened cause she fled. I had to chase her down like 5 blocks before she finally pulled over, she panicked and tried to get away lol. Cost me 100 to fix, told her it was 200. She sent the 200 cash.

She just moved to cali for college. But yeah, defnitely get all the info normally like every other accident just incase they dont pay. But luckily my girl was a college student who was scared, so she sent the cash no questions asked.

More like a minor bump bro.

I was going home and some lady tried making a U Turn from the right lane and didn't realize I was in the left lane and turned right in front of me, my car was in the shop for a month.

This was totally a stupid way to handle this.

Then again, I'm the type of guy if someone walks in front of my car illegally I'm suing their ass for the dent on my hood. No fucks given.

It might be that her deductible is high so she's expecting to have to pay fully for whatever damage she did to her own car. Her insurance would then also increase.

She'll probably pay...if she can afford it. New Englanders are generally honest.

Called her. She volunteered to stop by the place tomorrow and pay. Looks like things are going to work out fine! I'm glad that if it happened, at least it was somebody pretty honest and helpful. I'll try not to have to rely on that next time.
