----------------------------------------------

Here's my free advice, for what's it's worth:

1. Private property or not, a accident report should be filed with the
police, especially if he is
making noises about suing, or holding you responsible. You can still
do that.
Yep.

2. I'll bet if you check your insurance policy, you are *required* to
report
to them any accident in
which a claim may be made.
I'd make this PRIORITY ONE.


3. Do both. Write down your recollection of what happened and make
copies.
If insurance adjusters
start calling or asking for a statement, hand a copy of the same,
written statement to them and
any other authorized authority that asked for a statement.
Indeed. Pictures, paragraphs, etc. .... a preponderance of evidence is
what is likely to carry the day....

4. States vary with their insurance regulations. Check yours.
Yep.


Number 3 is very important. Don't rely on your memory to verbally repeat
the details of the event because you may be asked to repeat it several
times.

Insurance dudes and lawyers love to find the slightest inconsistency in your
statements to deny payment or declare fault.

Write it down accurately once, make copies and hand out the same statement
to anyone that requires one.
If asked to elaborate, politely respond by referring them to your written
statement. Don't offer anything else.

Unless he is a customer of theirs and he has notified them or he has
filed a claim against you already, it is unlikely GEICO is going to call
him.

that's what the adjuster said...

Oh...you called your insurance company. Well, it is likely your
insurance company will call his insurance company first. It is unlikely
a representative of your insurance company is going to tell your
adversary here to learn how to drive or to get lost. Big time auto
insurance companies usually don't act the same way as short-tempered
little schitts likeyou.

Took the Chevy Blazer and the flatbed trailer 4X8 to the post office
today. No place to park so I stuck it in a spot and the trailer was
hanging out in the lane and ran inside the post office. A guy in a new
truck backs out af an adjacent spot and hits my trailer, now he want
to sue me for damage to his truck. Am I liable or is he responsible?
Any Ideas?

Scotty


In a parking lot??
Believe I heard around here it's 50/50 split.

Where I come from, you hit a stationary object while you are driving, your
fault.


When the guy fell asleep in the rental car and hit my parked truck in the
parking lot, was 100% his fault. What was amazing, was the body shop's
estimate was about what my truck was worth. Bent the bumper and the fender
mount so the tailgate was misaligned to the fender. $2200.

Holy frekin ****!!! I just remembered where I met this guy before..
It
was about two months ago, he actually bumped the back of my wifes car
at a stop light. The bitch of the whole thing is I had a tiny scratch
but told him to go ahead and forget about it.. I gave the guy a
break.
He said he didn't see my brake lights that time, apparently the guy
doesn't watch where he is going.. If you saw him you would know. He
has a custom plate, the obligatory tuff guy stickers on his rear
window, a huge washed up wananna be jock.. Just can't beleive he is
driving around like that, wonder how many others have given him a
break. This guy is the stereotypical ashole.. man, can't believe I
let
him off and now he is trying to screw me.... I am sooooo ****ed...

Better watch it; he's liable to bounce you down the stairs.
