Dumb Truck Drivers, My car got hit yesterday. Options

[soulshadow]

So I was at the Post office yesterday getting my mail. I parked my car behind the other cars in its respective lane. Well, I was in my car flipping through the mail when something hit the rear of my car making a loud crashing noise. I quickly got out to find that some 5hit hole had rear ended the right side of the celicas tail light and scraped part of the bumper. Well, it so happens that the moron was gonna take off, so I quickly got his license # and car make. Unfortunatley the idiot stopped and noticed that I was taking down his plate #. So he stopped and parked his 5hitty a55 truck. He said, hell pay for the damages and I took every detail of his insurance company, DL, where he lives and even his VIN #'s. Got an estimate and it ran up $512 to fix everything. Today I will call the moron and tell him off the charges and expect a check of $520 in the mail within the next 2 days, or otherwise his insurance company will pay for a whole new JDM tail light and a Bodykit painted and installed!

I hope you got a witness or someone to vouch for your side of the story. They really help to state your case if the truck driver decides to try to blame you.

So he backed up into your rear?
