What is the name of your state? What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
Here's how it went down.
My regular car was at home being worked on by myself. I have a truck that doesn't have insurance on it cause it never leaves the yard. I used my truck as a temporary vehicle to drive 8 miles to work. Retuning home from work the truck stalled in the middle of an intersection, the light tuned red, and I backed up to get out of the way. I didn't see any one behind me. Well I backed into a car, My rear bumber scratched his hood. My insuranse didn't denied the claim stating that I cannot own my own temporary vehicle.
The other party sent me a quote from an auto body shop for aprox. $1200. And demanded payment. Feeling I was at fault. I offered to pay the auto body shop directly with a credit card. All of it. He refused and demanded cash, he stated he wouldn't have the car fixed.
I looked up his car in the kelly blue book and the difference between good and fair private party was about $250 The total value about $1200. I offerd $200 cash for the damage.
Now he is sueing for the quoted amount. Do I have an arguement for this?
