They do body work?

Any recommendations in the Newmarket area? I'd go Pfaff, but they moved.

 

Rod - sorry to hear, real crappy situation to be in, some people need to pay more attention.

BUT, you already had small spider cracks on your bumper and now you are getting this lady to pay for everything.....

 

Ya but they were behind the license plate and now it's much worse with paint popping off at the top.
Plus my list of **** to do keeps on getting longer.

 

The law is that only damage over $2000 must be reported to a vehicle collision reporting centre, not $1000. That was the previous limit but has now been changed.

 

Good to know that

 

Update.
I went and got 3 quotes for the damage and emailed them to the person that did the damage.
They came to my office and said "which one do you want to use. I have my cheque book" I chose the middle one.
When people "do the right thing", I have a little more faith in humanity.

 

Hey glad to hear it worked out

 

Since you are on the receiving end of the money I would consider it a win. If I had caused the accident I would never agree to pay outside of insurance as you are assuming a very big risk. The period to file a Statement of Claim is 2 years after the accident date! With all these ambulance chaser lawyer ads bombarding everyone you are SOL if you get served as you are on your own.

I likely over simplified the description but for me personally its simply not a risk worth taking as lawyer bills add up very quickly!!

 

The car was unoccupied at the time and in a private parking lot.

 

I just had this exact thing happen last week. Just got off the phone with the insurance company.
Person hit my car , came forward , j got quotes. They said it was too much for them so have their insurance info
Ins company Said they would not insist on hit and run charge as they came forward. Would not require police report as damage was under 2k.

No one was even in the car so no fault claim on our part.
The tricky part is all 3 claims were 1500-2000 without insurance. When I go back to the insurance companies shops it could be well above so then police reports will be needed.
Will let you guys know how it plays out.

 

^^^ what about your deductible?

 

Il ask tomorrow. But I am thinking I would not pay any if I am not st fault.

 

+1 on this. It works like a charm when they call the owner.

 

So you would rather lie to the new owner and say the car was never painted?

 

The police can easily check if there are marks on the car where they made contact with yours. If the marks match and the witness wrote down the plate, the other owner will more than likely be charged with a hit and run.
