What kind of written statement do i need?

[overst33r]

Someone chipped my windshield while doing an illegal traffic maneuver (long story)...

What kind of written agreement do they need to sign for the fees that are required for a new windshield?

Any examples, i searched on google but so far im coming up short...

I need this ASAP. Please, i would really appreciate it.

Do i need a Contingent Fee agreement?

I have liabilty insurance and a quote for a windshield replacement for $440 w/tax.

I didn't have any success in getting mine fixed through the other person. I ended up having to go through my OWN insurance company under my compreshenion coverage.

 

[Kelemvor]

Umm, just get their insurance information or a check.

how do they chip your winshield while doing an illegal maneuver
Get a quote for new winshield from a couple diff places or wherever you want it repaired, ask the guy what hes willing to pay, if he doesnt pay up consider it a lsot cause as i doubt hes going to sign any written agreement

 

[overst33r]

I dont have comprehensive only liabilty insurance. I am trying to get a check but IF the person decides to change their mind and lie about it, i need some way of proving myself.

I was getting off on an exit, and the dude cut me off over the white lines...and his tires made rocks hit my windshield and it chipped, its getting progressively worse...

The other insurer will tell you to sue the rock. Your only hope is to get a check out of the other driver.

yes it does he broke the law and damaged my windshield while doing it, is there anything im missing? I already called the sheriffs office and they said it would be his fault if they had witnessed it, but since that didnt happen, they told me i have to sort it out on my own...

You're not going to get him to sign any thing. Since you're in contact with the person, get the quotes as quick as possible and don't piss him off by attempting to get him to sign your stupid letter.

If you came to me with this because your windshield got road damage, I'd laugh then shut the door in your face.

Definately. I might pay for the windshield but no way would I sign that. Instead I would have you sign something along the lines of "this payment isn't an admission of guilt" and that "i am not liable for any further costs"

In the future consider getting windshield replacement insurance, many places have it as a seperate option from comprehensive and it's very cheap per month.

You're nicer than I am. My opinion is: them's the breaks.

 

[Pantoot]

How did you get them to stop?
Did they give you their information?

It sounds like the person is much more agreeable than I would be. I would be happy with whatever they give you, don't press your luck by trying to get them to sign anything. You have a quote, show them that, and hope that they pay. If you don't, consider it a lesson as to why many people buy full glass coverage on their vehicles.

That's basically my opinion too Having replaced my parents' minivan windshield 3 times in 2 years (lots of interstate driving plus sand/gravel they use in winter), damaged windshields are just a fact of owning a car. But if I really felt it was my fault (aka threw a brick out the window) would I pay

 

[Injury]

So... if he hadn't cut you off, would you still insist that he pays?

It seems to me that you are adding that in to make him seem like a jerk or something, but in reality it has nothing to do with the reason your windsheild broke.

 

[imported_Baloo]

How is the other driver at fault that road debris hit your windshield? It's not like he put it on the road. Sorry, but this is foolish. The other driver is not responsible, and any court would laugh at you as they dismissed your case. You are going to have to pay for repair yourself. Chips can be repaired for much less than replacement. Also, unless you live in Canada, $440 is a lot of money for a windshield.

 

[overst33r]

wow, guys i didnt know i was this bad at explaining my situation, i didnt ask for who YOU think is at fault, i asked for something else. Obviously its one of those "you had to be there" moments. I know the guy, I go to school with him, he was trying to race me and i ended up being in front of him, wasnt racing him mind you, due to trucks in his lane, so i guess he tried to avenge me and cut me off while i was getting off the interstate... Obviously i took this to the wrong place.
