I can very well understand being angry over something like that situation. That said, It reminded me of when a "nice" elderly gentleman backed into my car just after I had parked it to go into a store. He apologised, we exchanged information and he said he would contact his insurance company. Being in a parking lot and the man being nice, it seemed the police really didn't need to be called. Long story short, I ended up with a $300 dollar body repair bill because the man's insurance agency said he claimed I was backing up as well, even though I was in a parked vehicle. Further, his insurance company said if I pursued the case they would ask for damages to their cliet's vehicle. MAD as heck? You bet, but it would take alot more than $300 in actual costs for time away from work, attornies fees, and etc. for me to TRY and get restitution. Since any trial would boiled down to his word against mine and would probably be dismissed, I just let go of the anger and learned a valuable lesson. ALWAYS, get a police report no matter where the accident takes place and no matter how nice a fella is. On the up side, I have found that 95% of the time or maybe even more, situations like this are the result of a series of misunderstandings. I even experienced one of these on this very website. I won't go into details because there was a true misunderstanding between me and another member as to something I posted and their response. Just a few sincere emails back and forth without conveying my initial anger at what I thought was someone calling me a cheat or conman and we both found that there was indeed a misunderstanding and discovered that each of us was OK in the other's book. Just remember sometimes stuff happens that is nobody's fault or sometimes a bit of everyone's fault. Just my 2 cents.
