Accident at a Gas Station
What is the name of your state? California
I started driving while the nozzal of the gas station's pump was still in the car. Of course, the result was that the pipe came out of it's assembly. I offered the staff at the pump to fix it (it seemed simple enough to do) but he said, I can't. He took down my License plate number and I volunteered my phone number.
Now, the owner says it costed him around $300 to get the job done by a certified engineer (almost all of it in labor). I don't feel he's trying to rip me or anything but he did get some "expedited" service done by a hi-fi guy since he assumed I'd pay.
Being a student I'll be hard pressed to pay this much. Should I offer him something around $200 and ask him if he wants he can file a claim with the insurance company and get his money after 3 months or take what I'm offering? I really feel he could have saved me money, especially since I was being cooperative. Had I just taken off, he'd be paying for the whole thing himself. Any suggestions, please?
