Car Accident Question

She's lucky I didn't fight her on it when she called me. We met 6 weeks ago and she gave me her estimate. I told her that I would call the repair shop and make arrangements to pay. Well, they wouldn't take my money until she scheduled her car for repair. So, I called her THAT DAY and told her that they wouldn't take my money until she scheduled her car for repairs. She told me she would and I never heard from her again.

Now, almost 7 weeks later, just 10 minutes ago she calls me and tells me she has an appointment for Wednesday. She knows it's been a while but she had trouble finding a time when she wouldn't die without her car for two days....blah blah blah.....

Either way, I'm paying bc I don't want her to file with my insurance.

Atleast it was a car you backed into and not a person. I guarantee you'd be paying more than 400 bucks

If it happened in the parking lot then chances are good that even though driver B is technically at fault, both people will be ruled "at-fault" 50% or thereabouts and A and B or their respective insurance companies will pay for their damages. If it wasn't on private property, i.e. not a parking lot, but a street that is adjoins the complex, then B's at fault and B or their insurance gets to pay for everything. But if you're in a no-fault state then the rules are really weird and even when you're not at fault, your insurance company still pays if the damages are below a certain amount (like $2500). Isn't FL a no-fault state? Or they were thinking of getting rid of it, and decided not to maybe? I can't keep up with FL's insurance rules and thankfully I don't have to follow them religiously anymore.

Good thing no one was hurt smiley21! And I'm glad that the other driver is willing to pay for the damages.

I bumped this thread because something interesting happened today. Well this guy (that I had the accident with) and I still live in the same complex. We are two buildings apart. Anyway, he and I never saw each other since that whole incident back in October. Well, we finally talked again yesterday. Then today he asked me out. So we are going out on Wednesday. LOL. I never thought I would ever want to go out with this guy who made me so mad 6 months ago. Now, he seems a lot cuter.

If life were a romantic comedy, you would be destined to get married. Keep us posted.

We met for dinner tonight and it was fun. We talked about the accident a little and we just laughed about it. We want to get together again, so we will see what happens.
