I was in a car accident almost three months ago. It was my fault since i did hit the other car from behind. The guy told me his car was good and only had a couple of scratches in his car...and i offered to pay for it so it wouldnt go to the insurance. He told me he will call me the next day..but only called me one month later saying it will cost 800 cuz the car bumper was damaged and needed a new one. I then took him my auto body shop guy and he told me he will only charge 400. He didn't call for another while and now called 3 months after the accidnet to ask how i wanted to take care of the situation. I told him I'll pay if he wants to go to my auto body shop if not i won't pay. Should i just take this to the insurance...will they even accept his claim after 3 months. Will my premium go up? Advice?

I would offer him the $400 as quoted by your shop; take it over leave it. Then its in his ballpark.

he does not have to go to your b ody shop you cant tell him where to get his vehicle fixed BUT you can ask for a estimate your insurance may or may not go up but you can pay alot of premiums for $800 are yoy even sure that you did the damage to the bumper that might of happened at another time
