Hello Desi's

My friend (ABC) had an accedent today morning.

Minor damage with ABC's car and other person (XYZ)'s Van.

It was a mistake of ABC's. He was taking turn.

ABC's side light broken and XYZ's little body damaged.

Both were compromised. ABC was ready to pay for XYZ's repair.

ABC has given his phone number, licence number and address to XYZ.

ABC took XYZ's phone number. Both have decided to talk in evening after office hours.

They have not given Insurance information to each other.

ABC received XYZ's call around 5:30 PM. XYZ's asked to ABC for $950 for repair and 3-4 days rental car expense because it will take 3-4 days to repair.

ABC told him that I am ready to pay for repair. We can go to other garage and whatever the cost, I'll pay for it. Not for your rental car expense.

XYZ said "I'll go to police complain" if you don't want to pay for rental car expenses.

ABC told him if you want to repair your car, I am ready to pay for it. otherwise you can go for legal process.

Once again XYZ called him after half an hour. ABC told him same thing. If you want to repair, I am ready but not ready to pay for rental car expense. You can go for legal process.

After 20 minute, ABC had received call from XYZ's lawyer. He wanted to discuss with ABC. But ABC told him I don't want to discuss anything on phone with you. I have already disccused with XYZ.

ABC come to know that it was not lawyer's phone number. It was call from one of the driving school.

Now, What can XYZ do? He can do Police Case or not? If yes, What should ABC suppose to do?

Thank You,

Waiting for your responses

Success is Never Ending and Failure is Never Final.

XYZ can go into the Collision centre to file a complaint. He (I'm assuming here ) has to do it within 24 hrs. Based on the licence plate # they can locate ABC.

BTW... that was real hilarious.... getting a call from the lawyer...oops driving school. Did you use Canada411's reverse look-up to figure that

PM me if need any hep..

Well, the incident certainly affected ABC's ability to spell "accident" .

I wonder why XYZ is so bent upon settling this outside of the proper process. I'm also surprised he did not ask you to exchange insurance info. Maybe he does not have insurance?

I had an incident like this where it was the opposite party's fault. It was basically a college kid who told me at the scene that I would do him a big favor if I settled this amongst ourselves so that his parents (whose car he was driving) would not know.

I agreed at the time. Next morning, I went to the dealer to get the estimate and called him to give him the figure. I noticed some hesitation on his side and right away I told him it might be a better idea to use the legal process and hung up. I was literally doing him a favor if I settled outside the process, it pissed me off when he started negotiating on that.

The process probably cost the guy much more in insurance payments than what I would've settled on. Made no difference to me whatsoever.

another thing you want to do is get in the writing that there is no physical injury to the other person .....

as once my friend from seattle travelled to vancouver and it was settled mutually ( the fault was other persons ) .....

after a year and half the other party claimed some physical injury and he had to travel from Seattle to vancouver and wasted a lot of time and money

something to keep in mind .....
