Hi guys. Recently I had an accident which was caused by the other party. It happened at the entry of a car park (sloped).
I was waiting for my turn to take a parking ticket when the person decided to back out (too expensive?) and they did not see me behind them.
*boom gnarl crack*. Their car landed on top of my bonnet!
Anyway, bottom line, it's there fault but neither of us have insurance. I have on paper her details and a short declaration that she is at fault (with signatures).
She is now calling up and saying it is both our fault (ftw?)...what are my options? I am planning to getting 2-3 quotes on the damage and giving it to her, but if she refuses to pay...? Can the police do anything?
There were no witnesses at the scene, and the only pictures taken were of the damage of my car. I couldn't take a picture of their car sitting on mine because they went forward again right after (and we had to move!)
EDIT 15/08/07
The lady called me up and finally agreed to settle the matter for a measly $400 (I have 3 quotes that suggest $950-$1100). So I drove an hour to her place to find that she was unwilling to pay.
She said to me, "I have a witness to prove that you crashed into me". I was fuming!
Funny thing is, as noted in the first post of this thread, I have a written statement in which she signed.
She kept reiterating that she has insurance, but is too 'fobby' to know how to make a claim, so she says. She showed me a piece of paper with insurance policies to the car, except she wouldn't let me see the name on the paper. "Why do you need to see it for?" ftw LOL!
So we fought for a long, long time in her house. I was going to get my family involved, and then the police, but in the end she said she'd give me $300 and then the other $100 later.
Let's see how it goes.
What a xlut!
