WE PULLED OVER, AND THE WHOLE TIME HE TOLD ME DONT CALL THE COPS! SO I DIDNT BUT, WE AGREED THAT HE WAS GOING TO PAY ME CASH FOR THE DAMAGES. WE CALLED A COUPLE PLACES AND GOT ESTIMATES, AND THEY ALL AVERAGED AROUND 500 DOLLARS-600 DOLLARS. I DIDNT CALL THE COPS BUT ONE OF THE WITNESSES ON THE ROAD DID, AND WHEN THE COP GOT THERE I TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED...SO AFTER THEY TOWED THE GUYS CAR AWAY AND THE POLICE TOOK THE REPORT, I WAS NEGOTIATING WITH THE GUY. HE TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO GIVE ME 250 DOLLARS NOW, THERE ON THE SPOT, AND HE WAS GONNA GIVE ME ANOTHER 300 DOLLARS BY 3PM (THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED AT NOON), SO I SAID OK, BUT SINCE THEY TOOK HIS CAR HE WOULD NEED MORE TIME, SO I GAVE HIM TILL WEDNESDAY, 2 DAYS AFTER. IT IS NOW TUESDAY, I HAVE NECK PAIN AND I DEPOSITED THE 250 DOLLARS TO THE BANK TO KEEP A RECORD OF IT. WHAT DO I DO IF THE GUY DOESNT CALL ME WITH THE REST OF THE $$? WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? I LIVE IN ARIZONA. PLEASE HELP ME OR GUIDE ME, AS I AM ONLY 20 YRS OLD.

It relies upon lots on the place you're, because of the fact the regulation varies via state. In some in case you have been available utilising without a license, you're at fault no matter what, and may be able to no longer assemble something from all and sundry else on account which you mustn't have been there interior the 1st place. If the officer that investigated the twist of destiny knows you do not have a license, you're getting ticketed for that. that's one you will only could desire to attend and notice what occurs.

You probably should not have negotiated with the guy on the spot. You can't really get a good estimate for repairs without the shop looking at the car.
Contact your insurance company. Be sure to let them know you accepted 250.00 from the guy.

Report this to your insurance company. Chances are you have coverage for uninsured motorist on your policy. They will handle getting your claim settled.
