What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I got rear-ended in my brand new (used) car 9/09. I was driving on the freeway and the guy behind me didn't stop soon enough. The damage was minor (an estimate at $750). He was driving his friend's car who had insurance. He himself was uninsured. We decided to go through his friend's insurance and they ultimately decided they weren't going to accept liability because in his statement, he said that I had changed lanes prior to the accident (untrue).
I would appreciate anyone's expertise on how to get my car fixed without having my insurance rates go up.
I was told by someone to just go through my insurance and have them duke it out with the other party's insurance. However, my main goal is to make sure that I don't get any bad driving points on my insurance record. I am willing to pay to fix my own car if it means that that's the only way to be sure my insurance rates don't go up. I just think it's totally unfair that this guy can get away with an accident that was completely his fault just by lying on his statement. He had even admitted to me that it was 100% his fault, and had promised not to "burn me". Go figure.
