[quote=Anonymous]In my DD’s very first week of driving she got into a small accident. She was in a parking lot and a woman backed into her. My DD was not even moving…but was in her 1st week of driving. She called me crying and the other woman claimed “I don’t know why she didn’t see my reverse lights.” I wasn’t there and wasn’t a witness but asked her to send a picture of the damage which was a tiny dent on her rear bumper probably caused from the license plate. I told her that I didn’t want to go through the insurance (again- 1st week driver), but didn’t conclude who was at fault, I just wanted to end it.

We exchanged IDs and insurance and drove away so there are no witnesses or police reports.

The next day she emailed me a quote for around $350. I said thank you and asked if she was getting another to which she replied yes and sent me one for over $1700. She said this one would be quicker and more thorough when I asked why it was 5x more.

Under $500, I was paying out without question so that it stays off DD’s insurance. But this woman sketches me out. She screamed at my DD and I’m 99% sure she was at fault she just is blaming it on the crying emotional new driver.  How bad would it be to go through insurance? Would you pay out $1700 for an accident that wasn’t your child’s fault to protect their record when the first estimate was under $400? I’m a single mom and need advice.

Thx!
