Default Re: Car Accident Question

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I have done it twice before. Both times I was at fault. I just told them to take the car in and get it repaired then I paid them.

The fear is that the guy will renege on the arrangement. If he does that could be an issue. It is really a judgement call if he seemed trust worthy or not.

The amount of damage and where you live is also a factor. In certain jurisdictions not reporting an accident above a certain amount of damage is illegal but nothing ever comes of it. It would just be a bigger complication if the guy welshed on the arrangement.
