Don't try to work a deal between you and the other driver. It will drive you crazy. Contact your insurance company and deal through them. They will take care of your loss/dammages. It's what they do. Have the other driver do the same. If they persist in calling you, tell them you are handing this through the insurance company, and leave it at that. They are unemotional professionals, and handle these all the time. Let them work for you.

I'm guessing this guy has a history, and doesn't want another claim on his record. Forget about him, let your insurance company deal with him.

I just hope you called the police immediately after the accident. He cannot force you to pay or to go through some other form of resolution than the insurance company. If you have not done so already...contact your insurance company and his and let them earn the money you pay them.

Maybe the reason he doesn't want to go through insurance is because he really doesn't have any. His may have lapsed or he did a by the month payment plan and only made the first payment. Don't let him bully you. I just hope you had a police officer come out and got a report from him. ell him that you'll HAVE to talk to the insurance company and see if he runs or not.

Tell him to pound sand. What does it say on the police report? Was the other driver ticketed?

do you have a police report and did he get a ticket for the accident . talk to your insurance company don't give this guy a dime let the insurance handle it

I urge you to contact the insurance company and let them decide who was responsible for the loss. This is why you pay them. They will speak to your boyfriend and the other driver. You will not be considered a witness.

You did not say where this accident occurred, so I am not sure what comparative negligence laws apply.

what i think is you should call your insurance company. if there is still a conflict i would go to court.

Filing auto accident insurance claims is quite tedious. But to get your compensation for the accident, it is a necessary procedure - so you might as well go about it in the fool-proof manner described here.Uncertainty finds an innate part in human life. Being human being, we are never aware of crisis caused by occurrence like accident<!--What we can do is to make ourself be prepared to face the worse in the way that it has minimum effect upon us.Accident Insurance is one such way helping us to act as comforting hand when we suffer from misfortunate happening of accident.Whether you are travelling a long way or just to your next market place, the probability to meet up with an accident remains same. Besides, car accident, air crashes and rail accidents have become news of everyday. You may get your answer in the below website.

And, if you ever fall prey to such accident, having an insurance helps you alleviating the financial burden during such tragic moments. People who are still unaware of what Accident Insurance is, they can understand in simple term that by availing the insurance facility, you are paid a certain amount of money by insurance company as compensation-->Generally,the insurance covers mishaps like organ loss like hands, eyes and legs, death in air, rail and car accident. The principal sum paid to a family ranges from $25,000 to $1,00,000. But you are excluded from being paid the amount if accidents persists due to drunken driving and trying risky sports like bungee jumping, car racing, skiing, scuba diving, etc.

What are the details of the accident?

Did he give you his driver and insurance information?

I would assume that this person may have had prior incidents and doesn't want to report it to his insurance for a reason. I would definately turn it in. Let your insurance company go to bats for you.

Depending on details, if it is the other parties' fault, you always turn it in to their company first. Then if you start having problems with their company, look to your own. Good luck.

I think its a law(at least where I am)that you need to file a insurance claim aftern an accident.Even if it isnt he cant keep you from reporting it.
I assume that he may know hes at fault and does not want to admit it.
If I were ytou I would report a.s.a.p
from experience usually those who report fist have the upper-hand.

good luck and take care.

first never talk to anyone... and then get the police report it is to soon now.. i hope you are insured.. and i give you a tip. if this man intimidted you in any way.. bring this up to the insurance company... also you can sue him for being loud and abusive. and also for scaring you.. dont talk to him in the future if he calls hang up if he comes to your house call police charge him with trespassing... finally keep your cool. this person may have a history of accidents and does not want that fact to come to light.. good luck
