What do you do when somebody crashes your car?

My friend was driving my car and rear ended someone when I was in the passenger seat. It wasn't really his fault, I might have not been able to stop in time either but should I make him help me pay for my damages? Please help.

If you are insured and he was insured under your policy you could always sue him for damages you suffered as a third party...weirdly your insurers will be paying..but if you were hurt...get even.

call a police and don't let him change the cars position for investigation

If you still wanna stay friends, then be calm and maybe ask him to pay the excess amount on your insurance...

Speak with your insurance agent. You should definitely ask him to at least help pay for the damages, since there is pretty much no way you can rear end someone and not end up paying for it.

Maybe not MAKE him help you (at first), but ASK him. If he has a conscience, he will voluntarily help. If he resists, or refuses, take him on the Judge Judy show.

a good friend would offer to pay since he was driving


Loollea
i would think he should offer to pay your deductible

Might not have been his fault? Put that out of your mind and accept the fact that he didn't stop in time and it's his fault. So you know that your insurance will pay for the other person's damages, do you have collision coverage that will pay for yours? If so, why don't you ask him to chip in on the deductible? But don't expect it.

Never ever let someone else drive your car because you are responsible no matter who is driving because it is your car and by the way if they are a friend then you shouldn't have to make them help you pay they would volunterily.Good luck friend.

Contact your insurer they will take out all
your worries and you have been paying for it.
