[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve tried to allow someone to pay privately. It was a pain in the neck, never again. Will go through insurance.

Other party wanted to meet us at auto body shop to validate repair estimate. Then wanted us to use their guy. Was slow to pay. Too many arguments, too much work on our part. He only paid up when we threatened to get insurance involved again.[/quote]

Same. A much older lady backed into the side of my car when I was not moving. She was such a bad driver, she didn't realize my car was the reason she couldn't go backwards so she kept backing in to my car. I was not moving. She insisted I not go through my insurance and later that night she called me demanding I go during the week to some shop that was an hour away. I worked full time, had little vacation, and she expected me to do this during the week. I knew the damage was bad enough that I would need a rental and was not going to debate her. After the second call from her I called my insurance and didn't talk to her again.

I was hit 2 years ago by a kid who went through a stop sign and broadsided my car. The kid never got out and checked on me and was a jerk. He never apologized. A woman who stopped to help got him to get out of my car and talk to me. He never cared. I called the police because of the amount of damage. The accident happened just outside the kid's neighborhood and his dad was there in minutes. The dad was a lawyer and kept asking why I called the police. The woman stayed and told the police the kid was very polite and was so worried about me and felt bad. It was all lies. The kid actually laughed at both of us and said he didn't care. The dad was also there kind of pressuring the police. The dad had admitted to me this wasn't the kids first accident even though he'd only been driving a few months. His other kids all had accidents. He asked if I'd be willing to forgo using insurance and I said no. I also had a car camera so there was no denying what happened. I didn't trust them at all and am not going to tolerate it being harder for me.

I was with a friend when a person did the same thing as the first incident near Ballston mall. The guy who hit her gave her his info and asked her to not use insurance. He had given her fake information and she never got his insurance, so she was screwed. They didn't call the police because it happened in a private parking lot.

Yeah, fat chance I'm going to trust you. [/quote]
