What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Hi
yesterday I was trying to get out of a parking space, my car was parked between 2 cars and both these cars were extremely close to me.
I was backing up slowly to maneuver out of the parking spot and my car bumper kind of hit the car behind me. there was someone sitting in the car behind me and he got out and we looked at his car and agreed that there was no damage and I left.
he is a neighbor that lives in the same building as me. 24 hours later he sees me downstairs and he says "I need to talk to you, there is damage to my car."
I asked him to show me and he said "my car is at the shop now, I will show you when I get it back"
then today he emailed me some pictures and I can see a little damage. it's so hard to see in pictures and it may or may not have been caused by me. He says he wants to settle this "amicably" either through me or through my insurance.
I just don't know what to do at this point. I disagree that I have caused this damage. On the other hand, I dont want to get my car keyed or make myself an enemy. this guy is one of those "tough" guy wannabes with tattoos...when I see him in person I even feel threatened by him. Can I tell him that I feel threatened and ask him to contact me by email only?
so what do I do about the damage?
