Paying cash for an accident

[sexualbanana]

Is there anything that should be done if you were just looking to pay cash to fix the damages on a car? ie. Signing a waiver or something to acknlowedge that they've received money from you, etc?

You'll want to fill out something called a Final Release form. You should be able to get one from your broker.

Don't pay them, pay the shop doing the work - silly

Agreed - you simply pay the shop for the work unless you work out some other arrangement that works for both of you.

if you pay them and sign a release waiver, who cares what the do with the money, as long as it doesnt fuck you around in the end.

I paid cash for an accident my wife got into. As mentioned I downloaded a release waiver form, had the other party sign it and I paid him the amount on the estimate. ~$2000.
He was planning to order an aftermarket bumper, etc. His business.

Also paid for one for my brother-in-law. Man, I'm getting screwed here. haha.

Link to the form.

If anyone's interested you can PM your email and I will forward you a release form that we use at work.

yep. Always better to settle minor cases this way as it isnt worth it to go through insurance.
