Title: Re: insurance.... Post by kimchris1 on 05/17/11 at 17:41:05 Well she has their info as you said their clients of hers. Does your wife sell insurance? That kid could get it for hit and run, as damages were over certain amount. I do believe here if damage is over a certain amount, police must be called and report made. And definetly with all that damage, their should have been a report. Hope they do come thru so you can make the Dragon..:) kim

Title: Re: insurance.... Post by arteacher on 05/18/11 at 05:49:59 I was once gently rear ended by a 16 year old whose grandmother was in the car teaching him to drive. He broke a bumper shock on my '74 Volvo which I had just replaced at a cost of $114, and did minor damage to the rubber bumper cover, which I really didn't care about. The grandmother begged and pleaded with me not to get the police involved (this was back when they would still come to a minor accident) so the kid's insurance wouldn't go up. I told them how mush the shock would cost, that I would put it on myself, and that I would accept cash only. I also got her personal info. I bought the shock, sent her the invoice- and waited. Called her up and was told in no uncertain terms, and in language un-befitting a grandmother, that I was an extortionist and she had no intention of paying me. I mentioned the fact that I had a witness to the event, and she angrily  agreed to pay. Nothing happened. The second time I called her son answered the phone- he knew nothing about the accident, said he would clear it up, and he did. I was lucky.

Post by topgunz1 on 05/18/11 at 09:51:02 Even with a police report, it is all up to the insurance companies anyway.  A report just says who was involved, what their vehicles were, their statements, approximate damages, and what the officer could observe at the scene.   Even if I say, in my opinion, that Vehicle 1 is at fault, their insurance company could disagree, and fight with vehicle 2's company until they reach a settlement. If all parties are in agreement, especially if they are friends/acquaintances, it is not always 100% necessary to get a report unless your insurance company demands it.  I'd get their insurance company on the phone and get a claim # before you leave the scene though just to be sure a report isn't necessary. Example: My wife rear ended a lady, very minor damage.  My wife called and got a claim number right there, the lady got her car fixed, and everybody went on their way.

Title: Re: insurance.... Post by BurnPgh on 05/18/11 at 15:38:29 only waive the police report if you dont care whether or not it gets fixed. Always exchange insurance info. If you dont you might come to find out later that the other party had none and has no issue with fuhqing you over.

You are Exactly right...Accidents on private property are non-reportable in VA unless the driver is DUI,Hit and Run, or Serious Injury... Who is liable for what damage is Civil...

Title: Re: insurance.... Post by Boofer on 05/18/11 at 20:46:31 Years ago a guy backed into my car in a business parking lot. The officer told me they couldn't do anything, but he did write up an accident report for each of us so the insurance company had an official, non biased witness. The guy was really old, so I told him not to worry.  I called his company and explained. They paid and were glad we had the report. ;)
