i'm afraid the only way out of this is to change your identity and move to tuvalu.

Fun car/legal question for you guys:

So a couple months back in early July, I damaged the rear quarterpanel on my girlfriend's car in a parking lot when a car was speeding though it. Fault was assigned to me because 'I was entering his lane of traffic' even though I didn't have time to react but whatever. So her insurance covers the other guy's car and the damage to hers was purely cosmetic (paint and dent) so we just left it off the claim. We just split a couple days ago and she's pissed I ended it so she starts sending me threatening messages saying I owe her $1000 for her car and I better just give her the $1,000 or she's taking me to court.

The question: Do I have to pay it? Ordinarily I would just because I was driving but she's a horrible human being who actively tried to hurt and sabotage me and since I supported her jobless ass for months I know I've spent more than $1,000 on her. Ideally, I'd like to keep from giving her any more money than I already have.

Edit: Legally, do I have to pay it? Would her insurance still be the primary payer on repairs? Since the insurance already looked at both cars and the insurance already paid for the other guy's car long ago, has the window passed for getting hers repaired and me being on the hook?


Give her a bill for food and rent while you supported her

Tell her to call Judge Judy and you guys can get a free trip to LA(hotel and spending money is included).

That's within the statute of limitations in every state. All are >=1 year, most are >=2 years. She could sue you for the damages still.

You owe me $1000.

Let her take you to court. She'll find that $1000 is a prohibitively low award and that she very likely has not documented her case well. $1000 is an obviously made up estimate - you need legitimate evidence if you intend to prove someone owes you any amount of money.

If she has collision coverage, she could file a claim, in which case yes it would be.
The issue is whether or not you are forced to pay, because otherwise she has to come up with the solution. Reporting at this point would most likely be a bad idea for her (not that you'd care much) because the deductible would be half the cost of the repairs, which are cosmetic only, and her premiums would increase for several years.
If she only has liability insurance, she'd have to pay out of pocket, which she should do anyway if she cares enough.

If you have collision coverage and are forced to pay, your insurance could cover the damages also. For the above reasons, this would probably be a bad choice for you.

$1000 is not a worthwhile claim. The point of auto insurance is to keep you from declaring bankruptcy if you badly hurt someone, not to fix dents.

No, there's usually no limit on claiming damages to your insurance assuming you were covered when it happened and whether or not she can pursue you for damages is determined by the statue of limitations in your state, which I covered above.

If I were in your shoes, I'd tell her to suck a fart.

I'm not a lawyer.

I should qualify this further - they might cover it. It's their prerogative given the nature of her claim.

The car, the $1,000, the horrible human being part are all symptoms of your real problem.

The faster you can resolve this issue and learn a valuable life lesson the better off you will be. Pay her $2,000 and move on, avoid court, avoid contact or negotiations and move on with your life a little wiser about what qualities you want in a person you are willing to put your penis in to.

This might be the cheapest, yet most insightful education you have had to this point in your life so instead of steaming about it, be glad you can completely walk away from it for a small amount of money.

Lol what?

She would be a fool to take him to court for $1,000. Some of the cheapest attorney's where we live are about $250 an hour and that's after she would have to pay a fairly high retainer fee. He wouldn't have to pay her back for her legal fees.

She could do small claims but it's unlikely because (less to more important):
-$25-50 to file (depends on state) plus you might not win, making this a potential loss
-Gotta wait 20+ days to be seen
-Almost always scheduled when you're working
-Still benefit from a lawyer consultation which may or may not carry a fee (probably, since you're not using any other services)
-Odds are stacked against the plaintiff - if you lose while suing someone in small claims you can't appeal, but if the defendant loses, they can
-If someone refuses to pay there's a limited set of things you can do to force them to, which generally involve more expenses
-She has to produce documents and evidence legitimizing her claim


It's a big hassle, and for the amount of money people make in a paycheck and a half when below the poverty line, before taxes
Not really worth it

On the other hand, how tenacious and/or desperate is she? How much free time does she have? How good is she at researching? How well can you absorb potential additional cost of losing time from work if applicable and maybe getting credit damage and paying her court fees if she wins?

Permissive use law. She gave him permission to drive the car, her insurance would and should have covered the damages if she filed a claim, she didn't, that's her fault. She is fucked. Am I right?

You are assuming the money amount is what this is about.
