accident questions
I just got off the phone with my daughter (who's on my policy). She was just rear ended at a stop light. She drives a honda civic. The guy that hit her received the ticket and told the cop that he just wasn't paying attention. My daughter said that he's a younger guy living at home with his parents and that he called them and told them that he "was in his usual fender bender." She also said that he didn't want to use his insurance. He wants her to go get an estimate and that he'll pay for it to be fixed.
Any recommendations? |

^^^What he said. Get a written and signed note from the guy stating he was at fault, and his insurance info, so if he comes up short on cash you can go to his insurance people.

I have just be through this. Do not delay, call your insurance company and report it. Do not do a deal on the side. Here in Toronto you must by law report the accident if the damage is over 1000.00. I think there might be a time limit on making an insurance claim also.
It is a common scam here in Toronto where someone rearends you, want' s to make deal, delays, delays, and never pays. Or gets their damage fixed and then claims to never have hit you.

I'd check your local laws too, I know here in Oregon if the accident is over $1,000 in damage OR there is an injury/death (no matter how minor an injury) it has to be reported to the DMV on their accident report form.
And "usual fender bender" to me is an immediate red flag for "Obviously hasn't figured out how to drive" and probably shouldn't be driving, I'd report it to insurance if I were you, kid obviously needs driver's ed.
