paragraphs? sans run-ons?

I assume this means there are no pictures from the accident scene?

 

[pulse8]

You're asking for lawyer to give an answer for a question of morals?

 

[amdskip]

$500 is cheap, pay it and move on.

 

[GasX]

Well, at least you put spaces between the words...

He got into accident
Agreed to solve without insurance
His car had damage, the person he hit did not
It's all cool
2 weeks go by
She says $500 of damage
He posts on AT

What if she wants $1000 after 2 more weeks?

pay the 500 and make her sign something so she cant ask for anything else.

Which would most likely get ripped apart in court.

Do you have a police report for the accident? Any official record for what happened? If you really wanted to sink that low, you could just deny the accident even happened and she wouldn't have a legal leg to stand on. Depends what you feel like doing.

No it wouldn't. You are allowed to settle an accident your self.

 

[nageov3t]

look at the estimate. as long as it's not unreasonable, pay it and deal.

Yeah, but you never know with this legal system. Unfortunately.

Get a copy of the estimate from wherever she gets it repaired from. Make sure she signs a document that says the incident has been settled and there are no further repairs that need to be done.

pay it, it has happened to my friend before. It is much better then paying higher insurance. It doesnt seem like the lady is going to ask more.

 

[J0hnny]

Holy crap, are you serious about paying it?

I'd disappear.

Does she have any information about you?

You can deny everything. What kinda lawsuit would she bring up against you. None that would hold in court from what I see since she agreed to handle it outside of insurance.

You hold the cards dude.

 

[raanemaan]

Settle with her. In the long run an insurance company will raise your rates and will cost you more. Be sure to get a signed statement car is fixed to her satisfaction.

I'm willing to bet she has his insurance information, and possibly she made him sign a statement at the scene?

If the OP didn't sign anything, he DOES hold all the cards. In the interest of honestly, he should pay the $500, but if she asks for more say "screw it".

 

[FoBoT]

you should pay the lady $2500 and your sister $10,000

I'd bet that's what the girl wants from you J0hnny. No poon for j00.

Ethically and morally: if there is real damage that just wasn't obvious from a quick look, you are obligated to pay actual repair costs since it was your fault.

If you're looking for a legal reason to weasel out of your obligation, then yes you want a lawyer, it's their job to help you shirk your obligations and live by the letter of the law.
