Ok I seriously need some advice on what to do. I was at a bar and was LEGALY parallel parked. When I got home, I didn’t notice anything until THE NEXT MORNING, I had a nice scrape across the right (driver side) back corner of my car, and this tiny piece of metal off my car was bent from the back forward. I didn’t have anything to drink so I know I didn’t back into anything or anyone. Someone had to have hit me from behind.
Two nights later I go back to the bar and one of the bartenders, this girl asks me if I saw anyone hit a car. She said, “You were here all night the other night did you happen to see anyone hit a car?” I replied “That was my car that was hit someone came from behind me and scraped the side, but I don’t know who it was.” This girl told me someone HIT HER CAR and that she had red paint on her car, MY CAR IS RED, she also told me, SHE WAS PARALLEL PARKED and that her car was GREEN, I found GREEN PAINT CHIPS ON MY CAR. She told me what kind of car she drove and I went around the block and found it. HER CAR was scraped on the PASANGER SITE DOOR, the scrape going from the front to the back.
I know she hit my car, there is no way anyone could have hit her passenger side if she was parallel parked, not unless they were driving on the sidewalk. Her scrape shows she pulled out and scraped the back corner of my car, because I had green paint chips on my car.
Why would she say someone hit her? What should I do, the damage to my car isn’t bad and hers is way worse I think she is saying someone hit her to avoid being sued. Why would she stop me at the bar, just to ask if I saw an accident do you think she was trying to find out if I knew who had hit my car? Or find out if anyone knew it was her.
I really don’t want a lawsuit and the damage to my car is minor I just need to get it repainted. Should I say anything to her or just let it go?

Well, it depends on where you live. Uninsured motorist coverage sometimes covers your vehicle damage- if the state has uninsured motorist property damage (some states only have um bodily injury coverage) AND if you meet the requirements the state sets to use it. Those requirements may include, but are not limited to filing a police report OR may only apply if the person who hit you CAN be identified but has no insurance. You have to check with your carrier to determine what can be done. However, if UM property damage applies, collision coverage always is used first.

It sounds like you did your own investigation. I would go to the police station and explain your facts and let them question the other woman. Chances are she will probably fess up and pay to get your car repaired. The only problem you may have is that you did not report it within the time limits required by your state law. In California, you have 48 hours to report an accident. Did you report it to your insurance agent? You should have.
