What is the name of your state? Alabama
I was hit and the guy has no insurance. Its his fault and my car is old so my damage estimates are more that the car is worth. This guy tried to hit and run on the scene but I kept him from going anywhere. He said he was the owner of some business and he would pay for damages. He is offering to pay us about half of what the estimated damages are. Except this car was in great shape for its age and had very low mileage. I was hoping things would be easier but I may have to get a little stern if I'm going to get my car repaired correctly. He also told my wife he wanted us to sign some contract he had written to release him from all liability once he gave us a check. Of course I knew he would try something like this. So now I think I am going to offer him to either pay what I need to get my car fixed or see him in court. I know the guy has no insurance or at least did not at the time of the accident. He may try to forge some documents to prove otherwise but I know he had no insurance. If I take him to court are all court cost his? Since he is a business man and should have money should he fear going to court with no insurance? What should I do? I want to make sure we do things on my terms and not on his. Should I take him to court or settle for more money?
