I was at fault, with no insurance in a car accident. What happens now?

Anonymous Jan 20, 2009 2 views 1 answers

I was at fault in a car accident. I don't have insurance. I told the other party this and we decided that i would pay for damages out of pocket. Now she is calling me every day with new problems with her vehicle. ( It was a minor bumper to bumper accident). I'm not sure how to handle this. Please Help.

If you were at fault then you are responsible for any damage that you caused. I would request that the woman let you bring the car to an auto body shop or mechanic that you trust to try to determine what damage was actually caused by you. The other thing you can do is to look over all of the items that she mentioned and agree that you will pay her a certain amount, and if you cannot come to an agreement, then agree to have the case heard in smalls claims court.
