Someone backed into me in my work lot while I was in the car.

Can you elaborate a bit. Your above statement is confusing to me Xan.

Its funny how more things are coming to me as days go by, like how he started moving towards his open driver side door to move the car back into his space while saying I should do the same in case anyone else drives in and needs to pass. He was really slick. He just didnt want to give me a chance to take photos and video of the positions of the cars. Im just going to write all this stuff down and have photos developed and ready for the adjuster. I also hope I can actually take him to the scene of the accident. I also have people who can vouch for wear I park every single morning in the lot. I dont know if that will help, but I can hope and pray.

It's simple, draw out on a piece of paper how your cars were angled and how you got hit. You were moving forward and he was backing up.
If you look at the direction and angle of your cars, you can show that you didn't hit him, but he hit you... Then you can further proof this is true by the damage you have on your car... If you drive into something your damage would be in the direction you are driving.... Your damage was on the side and then to the back... Proof he hit you and not the other way around...

I will do all of that once the adjuster gets here, but like I said I was either completely still or moving ever so slightly forward by letting the clutch out slowly. I really cant remember if I was moving forward much or not, but I think my car nudged forward just a mm or 2 when he hit me. I also have pictures that I got developed today along with notes and a few written statements that I want to remember to tell the adjuster. I dont think this attorney will have as much substance and/or any pictures, but you never know.

Op- sorry to hear. I would just handle it no differently.. a call to my insurance guy and get the car fixed at a shop of my choice.

I would beat him so hard he'll sue himself for aggravated assault. And win.

The problem is he wouldnt care. He does not take care of his car at all. Its like a 4 year old camry with all kinds of marks and shish all over it. I also dont want to take a chance in losing my job either. I do work at criminal court people.

No no not his car HIM

This is why anytime someone hits you call the poilce and dont move the cars. They will come out and write up a report and it will say in it who is at fault.

Actually, in many jurisdictions this is completely wrong.

1) In many areas, the police will not even come out for a simple fender bender in a parking lot.

2) If the police do come out, in many areas if the officer decides there's less than $1,000 damage to each party, they will not take a report.

3) Police officers generally do not determine who was at fault.

4) If you're in a minor accident and your car is operable, GET IT OUT OF THE ROADWAY. And if it is not operable, GET YOURSELF OUT OF THE ROADWAY if you can safely do so. My father-in-law was killed because he was in a minor accident, stayed in his car that was disabled in the roadway, and someone else (who was drunk) plowed into the back of his car (even though there were even flares set up).

Sorry about your father in-law. I just got into an accident lat week, and it was a simple fender bender, police came out, filed a report, and put in the report that it was his fault. And I know its probably less than 1000 dollars.
