I hit this guys car we decided to not include insurance how much do I have to pay him because I made a dent in his car and now he's telling me its going to cost 3grand because they have to repaint the entire car and replace the panel, I made a tiny scratch on the side maybe 3 inches long barely noticeable and the dent is shallow but long.

This is a perfect example of why it's so important to ALWAYS call your insurer when you have an accident. No, the whole car does not have to be repainted but you are going to get nothing but misery from this wad from now on. CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY right now and present a claim. Include all of your Information including the mess you're in. Trust me, your rates will never go up as much as this 'dent' will cost you out-of-pocket.
Damn. |

I agree with Phill B completely. That was my first thought as well. a 3 inch scratch doesn't require a new paint job. Any good body shop can match paint. |

It would have been better if you had been in a position to require the other driver to get more than one estimate about repairing the damages. Or if you had witnesses, or someone had taken pictures. People may agree right after an accident to not involve insurance companies, but one thing the insurance company does for you is represent you in any disagreement with the other driver. 3 grand is a lot of money, and one might ask, why is it necessary to repaint the entire car? The damage was only on one side. |

You had surrendered your rights when you hit his car and agreed not to go to the insurers. You just pay or it cost you more to go the police/Ex Vehicle court with him |

Live and learn. Insurance is always in involved. If you keep them out, all responsibility is on you. Just pay the 3 grand and hope he doesn't hit you for more. Thank your lucky stars he didn't claim injury. Always, Always exchange insurance information. Most insurance companies like to have accident reports also. Some will not pay without it. |

You can request to get your own estimate of the labor, but since you decided not to include insurance he's going to demand a completely repaint of the car.
As far as legal obligations, well, since you didn't involve insurance you're obligated to fix everything. |
