I can feel the bad critics coming, but I need advice.

[gtdragon980]

It depends. Usually, if a person is backing out of a parking spot, they have right of way. At the same time, you cannot just assume right of way and back out without making sure the area is clear. By the looks of it, the Chevy may have been stopped and you may have backed up into their car but, I was not there to see it so I can't say. If you felt a jolt when you collided, he may have been moving forward and bumped you. I would definitely not admit fault and get insurance involved. You could easily be paying for an accident you didn't cause.

Fuck that bitch.
You were already backed out into the lane when this fool comes flying around the corner and smacks into you.
That is it. Stick to it. Tell everyone this and stick to it.

stupid highschool kids shouldn't ..........

1, if you're at fault then she is required to get three quotes and you only have to pay the lowest.

3, by not involving the law there is no way of telling who's fault it is, if she wants to pursue this she will have to take it to court.

In regards to "Tom Ds" answers.

#1 is partly wrong, if you're at fault, you will have to pay the shop of her choice.

#2 is correct but, 9 times out of 10, it won't be an easy fight.

#3 is incorrect, Police are there to collect "hear say data" not to verify who's at fault.

so I've never claimed to be a cop or a lawyer, but my personal experience is what I've drawn from. I also don't know about local or even state laws, but I'd like to clarify based on my experiences which in this case was many years ago.

#1 if at fault she must provide you with more then one estimate and you do not have to pay the highest qoute. you also don't have to pay the qoute from the shop of her choice. this is to protect the public from price gouging. otherwise she could get a quote from her nephew's shop and tack on 500% and then make you pay it.

the insurance company has to pay the shop of her choice, not you. again this is to protect the public from the insurance company. they work for you and therefore required to pay the shop of your choice, otherwise juan would be fixing your car in a back alley somewhere.

#2 9 times out of ten? I once took an cop to court when i got in an accident with an ambulance. even though I had pulled left out of a parking lot, crossed two lanes of traffic and directly across the path of the ambulance who wasn't running lights or siren, I proved to the court that of the ambulance had kept his course and not locked his brakes then the accident would never have happened.

if she takes it to court it will be small claims and you have just as much of a chance of winning as she has. both times I went to court in small claims I won my case.

#3 I agree that it's the cop's job to gather data, but the fault is determined based on that data. next time have the cops come to record the accident. whether or not you get the insurance involved has nothing to do with calling the police.

There was no report made so the only way for ether one of you to try and get paid for repairs is to take it to small claims court.

[IRON-E]

Tom D; I never meant to discredit your imput. Just lik you stated, I'm not an Attorney, so just to be clear., These were opinions based on personal experiences, and not factual info from a book.

[ST1G]

Chevy Cavaliers are possibly the shittiest car every made. There should be punitive damage and all Cavaliers and their drivers should be scrapped.


I was hit in a parking lot once in high school. The girl straight backed into my parked car while I was walking towards it with my girl friend. Her mom was a complete ass hat and called me and cried, and said they don't have money, and can't afford high insurance rates, single mom, blah blah blah. I had to talk directly to her insurance company which didn't fight me and just wrote me a cheque.

I believe you in. Post up the video if you can get a copy.

1, if you're at fault then she is required to get three quotes and you only have to pay the lowest.

2, usually but not necessarily the person backing up is at fault.

3, by not involving the law there is no way of telling who's fault it is, if she wants to pursue this she will have to take it to court.

4, do not pay her a dime, do not agree to anything except that it was an accident and that at the very least you split the cost of both of the damages.

this is great advise.

the print out the pics of the location and do a diagram. show the small claims court. i'm betting they will find him at fault since he was traveling forward and did not yield the lane to you. at most you would be a 1/2 fault and only need to pay 1/2 the repair bill.

tell her you wont pay a penny until she takes you to court, since you believe you were at no fault. ask an officer who was at fault, everyone has a friend that is a cop.

[Eric]

My first advise is to use paragraphs. I took english in high school, don't know what you kiddies are up to these days.

2. Don't give her a dime

3. From your drawing, I'd assume that cavalier boy was speeding in a high school parking lot trying to be cool and rear ended you.

[agent]

Give her the choice of a pair of shoes or taking you to court.

use paragraphs

This too.

No police or insurance involvement? Fix your car, do not pay for the other kids, move on. Simple. I doubt the mom will pursue this into the court system.

This. In all honesty after thinking it over again if you just ignore her I don't see her taking you to court.

[Zreberlcoe]

Well get this. The camera that would have caught the accident is down and not working. What. The. Fuck. So now it's definitely word for word.

Im going to have to agree with some other people. Tell her to f off and fix your own car and she can fix hers. Its a chevy cavalqeer move on.

[Poorboyz]

I would have to agree with the others who have said to tell the lady that since there's no proof that you're not paying for her sons car.

Sounds like you don't have to pay jack shit until/unless a court orders you to, which probably won't happen. I'm in high school too, people like this can be intimidating but everyone in the world will shit and walk all over you if you let them; don't. Did the accident feel like he hit you, or like you bumped into a wall/something stationary?
