Car Accident Issue, They aren't leaving me alone Options

[MaskedMan]

Alright, so lately i've been stressing out a lot, and i really need help here. I was involved in a car accident about few weeks ago when i car hit me from behind pushing me into the car ahead of me. I damaged the car ahead of me a lot and the car behind me drove away and we didn't see who it was. We didn't file a report, and we agreed to handle this outside of insurance. I ended up paying $2,000 and had her sign a paper saying that i had paid her and all payments and concerns are complete. But now she is calling me, telling me that her insurance company wants to charge me for all kinds of stuff like medical and therapy and stuff. I guess she decided to go ahead and call her insurance company either way without telling me on the day of the accident. Can her or her insurance company do anything to me after i paid and she signed the paper?

Get in touch with your insurance company. If you were not at fault- you should be covered against hit-and-run with no docks on your record. Its makes it more difficult that you already paid her some- that, to a lawyer, will be the same as admitting fault, something you want to never do (even if you are totally at fault).

DO NOT GIVE HER MORE MONEY. Tell her to contact her insurance company, and you will contact yours. Keep the receipt that she signed. You may end up going to small claims court to get that money back- its your money, and she shouldn't have it.

Hassle free option- Tell her to take a hike. If you get a bill for $15,000 (which I doubt) then get in touch with your insurance.

Did you happen to find any witnesses to the accident besides you two (any other people in the car?)

Good luck!
