car got hit. well my car finally got hit. after 2 years of parking a mile away in the parking lot and staying a car back at red lights i get nailed. parked next to one of the guys i work with who's a older guy so i figured it would be ok and i walk out to find a good size dent in the quarter panal. he's trying to deny it's him but his truck is silver and the paint on my car is silver so it matches up. plus dent wasn't there when i parked there, then after he left i left several mins later and it's there so apparently it was him. advice on going about it if he trys to shaft me?

yeah basicly a door ding (big dent really) i'm pretty sure the wind caught it when he was getting in and threw it open like that. cause usually when you hit someone with a door it doesn't come out like that. the guy at body shop said it's going to be over 900 in damage because he has to paint door to blend with quarter panal. so hopefully the guy doesn't make this a big deal. i don't know exactly how to go about it sence i havn't been in this situation before. police report i guess if he trys to get out of it?
good grief, what did he do? open his door half way then KICK it the rest of the way open into your car?
that should have left a sizeable scratch/paint on his vehicle which i would be hunting down.

i took alot at his today and the problem is that none of mine came off except 2 pin dots. his truck his chips down the whole door so i couldn't even tell. looked almost fine on his truck so that is a problem for prooving it's him.
Man, that sucks Easton. Sneak up behind him and hit him over the back of the head with a blunt object. Hell, if he didn't see you do it, how can he prove it? Right? Some people need to grow up and admit when they make a mistake.

yeah. well if i get shafted on this, i've got my own ways to stick it back. i just don't like things to turn out like that, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Is $900 more than your deductible? if it is then get into contact with your insurance company and the police. Are there any cameras in the area? I'm sure that theres some paint from your car on his door. You could prove that he done it based off of paint...but usually the police don't go through that much trouble over something like this. Getting the insurance involved would be a start. You have his name, you can get his LP #....from there track down his insurance company if he is carrying insurance...if he's not carrying insurance, black male him into paying for it.
Geeus Xrist Easton! When you explained it to me over the phone I thought it might have been a tad smaller than my little shiner on my back quarter. I got pissed just by looking at the picture.
...and for the guy that said the truck owner needs too grow up.....the man's 50 years old! When do you think the maturity hormones are going to kick in already!

Hey you could probably have good luck with this method. Not going to help with the scratch but it's a start.
I had some old guy do something like that to my 89. A coworker witnessed the whole thing. Old bastard tried denying everything for the sake of his insurance rates.
