I can attest that not only does have zero calories, it also has zero taste. No wait, it does have taste. It's the taste of azz. Brown, wet runny azz in a bottle. I drank all of two swigs before wasting another dollar on a regular coke.

Where the hell do you live. A police cant tell you that you cant file a police report. If someone drops a tea cup on my toe, im filing a police report. Just get the police report!

If you want the poor kid to suffer, and you might suffer awell do the insurance claim. I wouldnt. 1000 dollars is not enough damage that a person driving a hummer cant fix themselves.
Now if your driving a kia, then maybe:OWNED:

What ever the damage, lets say he gives you 500-700 dollars, even tho its annoying you can cover the rest out of pocket.

GUYS U DRIVE A HUMMER, $1500 is chump change...its like a hummer tire.

Work is slow today, so I've been shopping. You can get both the rear flare and rear right corner cover for $290.70. I know this link has been posted before, but it's the best place I've found to get misc. body parts for the hummer.

Very true. You better get it looked at right away, then go from there. If it's $1000 bucks and he gives it to you, good. You want to safe, tho.

It seems that most of you suggest it as a proof of fault. Im a little confused because whenever I have seen an accident report it shows no indication of fault on it.

Maybe im missing something. All it has is the two drivers informations, the damage, date time location, witness names, names of people that were injured/died, and on the back your supposed to draw how it happened (you do this yourself, not an officer, and separately from the other driver so they may differ), and then your supposed to send it in to police hq. Im in chicago, and theres thoudands of accident per week, i think you have 7 days to file a police report after the accident. The whole process seems very disorganized.

So im not clear on how the report assigns blame, and i doubt when its sent in to police hq after you draw a pic on the back that they investigate thousands of reports weekly. I have noticed that the person who seems to be not at fault is usually listed as driver 1, is that how it is assigned, #1 no fault, #2 at fault. can someone clear this up?

another question, i have never personally filed an insurance claim so here it is. when you want to file a claim and the other driver is at fault, such as in evldave's case, do you contact your agent so he can start the process or go directly to the other drivers insurance company and file the claim there? I ask this because my dad, and a buddy (two separate occasions) were told by Allstate agent to do directly to the other company and file there, is this how it is?

thanks


Can't speak for anyware else but in Miami-Dade County Florida the Law Enforcement Agency responding to the accident DOESassign blame and fault to one party (on a rare occasion there is no blame)

As I stated elseware (and this will vary if your state has "NO FAULT" You notify your insurance as (if your not at fault) so in case a insurance problem arises later on)

BUT

You make the claim for repairs, damages and medical if necessary to the persons insurance who was at fault. It most cases they pay 100%.

With NO FAULT but making the claim through your own insurance YOU are responsible for the deductable (i think, not 100% sure on this very last part)

Will tell ALL of you, now is the time to check this out in your own City/State, BEFORE you are involved in an ACCIDENT...

if you dont want to file it take down everything off his license, and registration, also take a picture of the crash or whatever and of him next to his bike at the crash scene and holding a sign saying "its my fault if i dont pay he can file against insurance" Also i know in the state of florida you dont need motorcycle insurance maybe he doesnt have any insurance on it to begin with. But i dont know what state your in.

But what if u hit some nice guy, i wouldnt want to make insurace screw him up the ass.

But some of you had bad experience being the nice guy, so I understand you guys wanting to put in a claim, but I havent been screwed, hell i havent even had an accident (knock on wood)....damn i havent even gotten a speeding ticket!( I dont need to knock on wood, the po po gots nothing on me!

Thank you, I appreciate you letting me have the last say. Now run along and tell your pappy your theory on how the person with the most money should be responsible in all accidents regardless of fault! Buh-bye!

Also dont forget that your car will be in the shop for a day maybe longer. Is the other party going to supply you with a rental car for the period of time your car is in the shop like the insurance company would? Maybe you have other vehicles to drive and its a non issue?

Re: Hummer 1, Motorcycle 0
 
ok, here's an update....

Decided to go the police report/no insurance route. Motorcycle rider has no motorcycle insurance (not required in WA), so I either file uninsured or take cash. He agreed to meet me @ my house, showed up in a high-end mercedes, had a $500 check and a full-scope liability waiver - included that it was his fault, I have no responsibility, his $500 is to cover deposit on repair, does not waive my right to non-collision repair, etc.

He had no insurance...that is the key - either he gets screwed or he pays full up front. I'm pretty comfortable now, he's been up front, has all the paperwork, is paying cash. I can try and screw him, or I can trust that he's on the up-and-up and hope that karma has treated me right today.

Oh, yeah, and I'm gonna repair the damage myself ($290.70 in parts) and pocket the rest. I saved him the insurance issues, he saved me the labor - a good deal all around.

ok, blast away (RYD and others :p )

Glad to hear the positive update, evl! It certainly sounds like this guy is on the up and up.

Apparently many of us on the board have been screwed too many times and just aren't willing to trust someone they don't know when they say they'll get it taken care of. It's just such a screwy world we live in. People's word often means nothing these days.

Ya picked the right guy to run into you. ;)

Yeah sometimes a little faith in the goodness of folks will go a long way... Had a guy rear end me a couple of years back and we had the same arrangement of sorts.. He was a bodyman though and did the work.. And did it right.. Still ended up costing him about $2000.. Had to replace the bumper, tailgate, associated trim pieces and a good bit of painting.. He had the truck for 3 days and even got a demo/loaner from the dealer he worked at for me to drive..

Re: Hummer 1, Motorcycle 0
 
So another update (yes, another slow day at work :) )

Took the rear flare off (two 7mm bolts in the doorjam + clips + two 10mm bolts inside the flare near the rear rear plastic corner cover). Of the 3-4 clips, only two were left, the others had gone to clip heaven. The plastic flare was bent forward (you can see it in the original pics).

I put one clip in the front, one in the rear (they are the pop-in style clips) and tweaked the flare to unbend it - there was no crease, so I was hoping it would just bend back. IT DID! Popped the clips in, retightened bolts and it's back to it's original spot - no bends! From 5' away you can't tell there is any damage (and the scrape marks fit in well with all the other scrapes on the truck).

So at least until I get around to fixing it, it looks serviceable and I can keep the flare for a spare. Plastic is cool!

Note to Bebe: I can't imagine what would have happened if I'd had your setup - he would have cheesegrated on the right rear ladder and probably ended up in a lot worse situation (of course I wouldn't have needed any repairs ;) )

That's great. All "good is dumb" kidding aside, you did it right ... got all his info, filed a police report to cya and gave the guy a chance to make good. And then he did.

It's like some kind of fairy tale ending ... am I in the right forum?

I say he should file.
