What is the name of your state? TX
The wind caught my wife's door when she opened it and it dinged the car door parked next to it. The guy became very beligerant. I told my wife we would just pay for it and tell the guy to get three estimates. He said he would get three estimates but we would pay him directly and he might still call our insurance and start a claim. My questions are: Can he file a claim on our insurance with us not initiating it? Do I have to pay him directly and if he gets three bids which one am I obligated to pay? I have a problem with paying him directly. I believe he is not going to have it repaired and he wants to pocket the money. I would like to say I will pay the repair bill directly or settle for a smaller amount in cash.
