Wait a minute, folks!!
How did all of this get ASSSUMED to involve California??? And so far off track as to a possible crime for not reporting??
There is nothing in the thread to even present that as a possibility.
With your back-and-forth comments, you two have taken this thread far from where it belongs and have misinformed the writer!!!
So, lets assume (as the post implies) that this happened in GEORGIA and get this back where it belongs!!!
"My fiance, the smart guy that he is, got rear ended about 1 week ago and decided that he wasnt gonna report the accident to the cops or to the insurance company-apparently the guy that hit him claimes he just got divorced and lost everything so he felt sorry for him."
*** Of course, he now realizes that was not the smartest thing for him to do.
"He got his address, his company name(he's self employed) his telephone # and his license plate number."
*** Okay, that was a good start.... but he should have also gotten the other drivers license and insurance information at the same time..... just in case this happens. I assume you have helped him 'learn' this, correct??
"The man supposedly payed for the parts already. Now the guy wont return our call or anything. what can i do???"
*** See below.
"has so much time passed that i cant do anything."
*** Nope. There are LOTS of things you can do, including:
- Turning this over to YOUR insurance carrier and letting them pursue this person, or
- Writing this person a letter (certified RRR) detailing the accident and including estimates for your damages (plus rental car). Demand that he contact you within 3 days of reciept to resolve this matter.
- If he doesn't take care of it, go down to your local small claims court and file on the ba$tard!!
