Is it so hard to tell the truth???

Wus up peeps, just two weeks ago my "friend" wasn't paying attention and slamed his S10 into my Max. His car had a scratch and my entire drivers side rear was smashed in. We both told the cops the same story but he lied to his insurance company so they refused to accept responsibility. Just a lesson to people, you may not even listen but it is a whole lot easier on people if we can all just be honest and accept our reponsibilities. My insurance company has to pay the $3000 to fix the car and my rates may go up when it was his fault. PEOPLE, JUST TELL THE TRUTH AND QUIT TRYING TO WORK THE SYSTEM AT THE EXPENSE OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSE TO BE YOUR FRIENDS. Please take this advice.

That sucks man. I hope it works out for you. Yeah, I made the mistake of telling my friend he could pay me for the damage he did to my car without getting the police or anyone involved. He begged me to do it this way, that was 3 months ago, and I havent seen a dime of that money yet.

Yeah he isn't a good friend and i was going to get my boys and pay him a little visit to settle this but i figured that it wasn't worth it. He can stay a B**** if he wants to. what goes around comes around. By the way, Nice Max D1NOnly34.

I'd go and let all the air out of his tires. Don't do anything worse than that, cause that would mean you'd be stooping to his level. sorry about the accident

Hold on. Didn't both of you present the same story to the cop? If so, he probably wrote a report. In this case, get it and let your friend know if your insurance rate goes up, you will press legal charges against him. I know it's not easy to do against an old friend, but he's the one who started the whole affair in the first place.....

My thoughts exactly... if a police report was written, then there really isn't an issue, go to the local cops or whoever is was that wrote the report and get yourself a copy. It really shouldn't even be an issue, you can't just lie to the insurance company, it doesn't work that way. I think your insurance company should be going after his, you probably won't even have to do much more than send them a copy of the report.

His insurance is going to blow you off if they can... as it will save them $3000! Get the police report and take it there. You should also give a copy to your insurance company, as they don't want to pay that $3000 either.

Chances are, taking the report to YOUR insurance agent is all that will be necessary, as they will usually take care of things that are in their interests. YOUR insurance should be more than willing to fax the report to the other guys insurance and have them take care of it.

If there was no report written, contact the police officer who responded and explain to him what happened, then have him write something up for you.

Good Luck!

There was a police report written and I'm so ****ed because the insurance company knew the details, but the ***get told them that the report wasn't accurate and I spoke to my lawyer and he said that if we pressed charges, it could take up to two years to get it resolved. I'm going to get my insurance company to go after his after my car is out the shop. I'm going to just call them out for the public...ERIE INSURANCE COMPNY SUCKS AND IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. YOU WILL BE SMART NOT TO GET THEM. and the kid knew it was his fault because the father agreed to pay for the damages but we wanted it to go through the insurance company incase it got fixed and something else went wrong later. I'm still ****ed about the whole thing.

Get in touch with YOUR insurance ASAP. His insurance will try and drag it out and get you to sign off on it. Once you do, you are sh*t out of luck. If you haven't given up, tell YOUR insurance about the situation,(they know a police report holds more water than what some 'punk' says) and will get his insurance to pay.

His insurance will blow you off and lie to you in order to save a buck. Your insurance company knows better, and so should you. The police report is a legal document. As long as you haven't already signed off on a claim with your insurance company then you're good to go.

Good Luck!

yea about a year ago this kid that lived across the street from one of my boys backed into my car when it was parked. i agreed to settle it without involving cops or insurance since my rates where already up there, then i got the estimate for $1600 and when i went to go bring it to there house they had moved like a weak after the accident. so i was f***ed

your lawyer is right, they will drag the case out forever and then you need to pay a bunch in legal fees. heres what you do. get a copy of the police report(once its filed theres no going back, thats why the cops always ask you "are u sure" after every question, because once its done, its final!) so give the police report to YOUR insurance company and then they will handle it. they dont want to pay $3000, so if your friends company refuses, than your company will sue them, and you wont have legal fees. once you give the paper to your company its battle between insurance companies, and i garantee yours will win, since he already filed a report stating that it was his fault.
