car got hit... by a roommate...

Astrosfan · 07-18-2011, 03:03 PM

that sucks! Really, no insurance! what a douche bag. If you plan on keeping him as a friend and he cannot pay the few grand to fix that, file it under your insurance and get it fixed. If you dont plan on keeping him as a friend or roommate, and he doesnt want to pay, take him to small claims court. Might help to record your conversation without his knowledge with your phone or something, just in case, ya know.

You're looking at about $3500-$5000 depending on hidden damages and which bodyshop does the work. Definately file an insurance claim! Hope you have uninsured/underinsured coverage. Good luck with the repairs.

Dont you have to show proof of insurance to get a uhaul??? I know here in the sunshine state you cant even have a license or registered vehicle without proof.

kenchan · 07-18-2011, 03:25 PM

yah, i think you do... but since they appear to be in college their mom and dad could sign for the truck and let their kids crash them....

ZCarMan · 07-18-2011, 04:05 PM

Does Uhaul have insurance on the truck for the driver?

Seriously, when you rent a UHaul, how could you NOT spend the extra $30 for insurance. Stuff like this happens when you use something unfamiliar.

Heck, when I came back to Japan (not driving for nearly a year), I felt like 16 again and forgot how to drive.

call it in to your insurance and let them deal with him, and get a police report because its probably gonna get messy

Elvis@Vossen · 07-18-2011, 04:11 PM

What a terrible spot to hit someone at, now you need to get three things fixed.

kenchan · 07-18-2011, 04:17 PM

hey elvis how's that wheel cookin' in the kitchen?

Nismo_Q · 07-18-2011, 04:42 PM

I've used Fix Auto many times and was pleased with their work. Top notch quality repair with lifetime warranty.

Unfortunately, they know me by first name basis now since I've been there many times. Everyone was sad when they declared my red Nismo totaled.

EazyD · 07-19-2011, 10:56 PM

Wait are you telling me if I go out to my car right now and it's bent out of shape, I can't call my insurance company and tell them someone did a hit & run and please give me monies?

MUST · 07-20-2011, 03:46 AM

same thing happened to my friend about 10 years ago.

he claimed as a "hit and run" and got his roommate to pay the deductible, pay for his rental, do his laundry for the rest of their 7 years in college and detail his car once a month for as long as they were friends...which they still are and yes his x-roommate still details my friend's car once a month.

i think he had AAA and it wasn't a big deal with them as it seems that it was a common occurrence around UCLA.

That's called insurance fraud. Posting about it online is probably not the smartest thing to do.

Red__Zed · 07-20-2011, 01:59 PM

How does he not have insurance?

happytheman · 07-20-2011, 03:00 PM

Oh wow! He doesn't have insurance?? That blows! I surely hope either he or his parents have the money to take care of this, because it's not going to be cheap.

Sorry this happened to your ride.
