My Baby Got Hit Today, I never thought I would ever be posting Options

So I'm sitting in my car on a side street talking to my friends about an apartment they're going to look at. All of a sudden, there is this old woman in an Accord who side swipes the Celi, bounces off my car, swerves and keeps going. Thank God for the red light cause I ran down the street to get her license plates. The first thing the woman says is "Why did you open the door while I was driving by?". I looked at her and said "Ma'am, let's not do this. You hit my parked car." At this time, my friends get out to look at the damage. They close the doors and my alarm locked the doors after 30 seconds.and my insurance info, license and all that were in the car. I was so pissed that I just had to laugh. Then the woman says "Well you have to admit that your car is way off the curb and stuck out in the street." How can she try to blame me for her hitting a parked car. Her car had a dent in the front fender and her side mirror was broken. My drivers side fender and the part over the rear wheel well has deep white scratches all on it. That's not even the worst thing. The worst part was that it was a Honda Accord!! Now you see why I hate Honda owners.

Hey, my wife just got hit 2 weeks ago, and the cops said the same thing to her, but here's my advice to you: She has done damage to your property, and the sooner you document it with the police, the better. Especially since she tried to flee the scene, if you file a police report now, you've got better chances later when she tries to change her story, or say that you pulled out and hit her, causing the accident. Most police departments have a simple form for documenting the damage to your vehicle (definitely take photos, too). The insurance thing is standard, but you might be better going through your own company, even though you have to pony up 500 at first, because when this witch changes her story, you'll have them and their lawyers on your side, because aside from your 500, they want THEIR money back! Also, if you file a police report, and she disputes it, she's not lying to the insurance company, she's lying to the cops, and making a false statement (it's illegal either way, but she might think twice if it's to a cop). Here's another thing to consider: She's a little old lady, right? Little old ladies have kids, and once they start getting involved and trying to defend their mom, you never know what lies she'll come up with. Good luck, and be careful, especially if she's offering to pay you cash. She might try and stick you with the bill and not pay.
