What is the name of your state? Maryland
Hello,
Last Thursday, I rear ended someone in DC (I have a Maryland license). The impact was very light and there were no apparent damages to either car (nor were there any injuries). We exchanged names and phone numbers. I get a call from the guy today saying that he got an estimate on the car and it'll cost $900! This is very ridiculous since there were damages. He does not have my insurance information. The car is not mine but I am insured on it. What can I do? What would happen if I refuse to pay this $900 since he has no proof that it was me that did whatever damage to the car he's claiming. He has an '84 Benz so of course there were some scratches or whatever already. Of course I would hate to claim this on the insurance since it will raise it plus I'd have to pay the $500 deductible. What can he do legally since there is no police report or proof that I indeed did the damage.
Thank you,
Yasmin
