What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Occurred in Georgia, I live in NY.
In August, I got into a minor fenderbender changing lanes at a red light. Completely my fault as I was "following too close". It must have been 5 mph, max, just a bump, and we both drove to a nearby parking lot to check everything out. Unfortunately, the woman driving the vehicle in front was renting an Enterprise Rental. She had to report the accident, and I agreed to pay whatever they may charge, but I took clear photos of all sides of the rear bumper. I was convinced "how bad could it be?"
Just a week ago, I got a bill from them stating $1800. It seems they replaced all these parts, citing even a "spare tire" and cover. I did some research AFTER the fact and now it seems Enterprise is known for swindling their costumers on on damage repairs like these, but it seems to be a hard case since I was not a customer, but rather the person at fault in the accident. The bill also stated the car was out of commission for 8 days, and I was charged for that. Doing some internet searching I found the place they have doing repairs has a history of doing lax work and not being very timely with their repairs. But again, since I was just going through GA that day, I couldn't very well bring it to anywhere I knew of.
So all this, is there any leg for me to stand on to pay just half of this amount since I have explicit photos?
Any help appreciated...
