parking lot mishap (Accidents & Personal Injury Law)

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 13:07:00 GMT

What is the name of your state? Ohio
My son backed into another car at a park. He left a note on her car with his name and phone # for her to contact him. They spoke and she got an estimate which we want to pay out of pocket to keep his claims down on his insurance (he just turned 18 and has no claims). She in the meantime contacted the park ranger who now wants to meet with my son to file an accidnet report along with a crime report. They are calling it a "hit and skip"? My first question is: How can this be called that when he left all his information for her and 2) by us paying out of pocket, are we responsible for a loaner car for her?
thank you

    Probably, for a reasonable amount of time to get the car fixed (ie not months and months).

  • Take the number of hours of labor on the estimate and divide by 5. Take into account weekends, and that's how many days of a rental car you're responsible for. You don't have to pay for a luxury rental either, basic transportation is all they need. Tell them to give you the receipt, so you know they actually rented the car.

  • They are blowing smoke. In Ohio if you strike an unoccupied vehicle and there are no injuries, you need only attach your information conspicuously to the vehicle. It's not hit and "anything."
