Hi Guys,
First time in an accident...if you want to call it that. Lady backed into the side of my car as it was parked at my friends place. I just left and not even 30 seconds later got a call from the friend, the neighbor dropped by to tell them they backed into my car. I didn't even realize, but when I looked, the whole driver door is fked, including the side mirror.
Anyways, I got pictures of all of her insurance slips, drivers license, and even registration, and both her cell and home phone numbers, and know exactly where she lives. She was apologetic and kept saying sorry and all that. So my question is this, I have never had to deal with this before, so what are my next steps?
Do I call her insurance company, or mine...or do I go to the body shop and get an estimate and bring it to her? I need the car daily for work, so I will need a rental car as well. She is GDL, so my bet is she may want to pay cash...Just want to see how is best to deal with this situation. It happened about 2 minutes before I was to leave to go home....talk about bad luck.
