As the question says, I got into a minor fender bender and the only damage was a scratch on the other car.The owner's daugher's boyfirend was driving. It was a new 07 suv and I'd highly doubt he had permission to drive the new car. What are the laws on this situation, I know it won't cost much but can I get out of paying with this info?

You damaged somebody else's property and you are both legally and morally responsible to compensate the owner.
Be an adult and stop trying to wiggle out of your responsibilities.

The insurance goes with the vehicle. The owner is responsible for anyone who drives his/her vehicle, and it will go on the Insureds record. Your question is too vague to determine what exactly happened, so whomever was at fault will have to pay (sounds like you? then you should pay...it's the right thing to do).

To the best of my knowledge who was driving has no relevance to your responsibility to the accident if you caused it your responsible. Are we talking about a deep scratch or minor defect? It might be worth just paying it vs. court to fight it! I would see if they need to get 3 estimates in your state or not. Is there a police report? If so when this is submitted to your insurance they would tell you , your responsibilities to this claim.

Did he say this grow to be an 87-88 datsun? The datsun call led to 1983. A 1988 Nissan Sentra is properly worth approximately $one thousand in magnificent condition. grow to be this automobile in magnificent condition? grow to be the physique and paint magnificent? indoors magnificent? If the motor vehicle grow to be in honest to unfavorable condition then the motor vehicle itself isn't properly worth $500, in all probability no value in any respect. for this reason, if it is an old automobile and additionally you place a small dent in it, what value has he lost?, do you think of his automobile is now properly worth much less?. The bent driveshaft tale is ridiculous so he's purely attempting to get as lots money as he thinks he can ruin out with, which i think of is what you think is going at right here. It appears like he's being cheating with you whilst you're attempting to be honest and pay your section. i could be at risk of no longer decide to pay him something yet consistent with possibility you need to compromise. you need to furnish, say $50 for his worry, So, tell him $50 (or regardless of yet no greater advantageous than $a hundred) is all you pays or you will ought to pass on your coverage, for them to pay. i could be taken aback if he needed the coverage business enterprise in contact because of the fact he could in all probability get no longer something.

Just pay for the scratch- I'm sure the repercussions on his end will be worse; especially if he really wasn't supposed to be driving the car.

Unless you are planning to extort the boyfriend, you are still legally responsible for the damages.
If you do extort the boyfriend you could then be committing a fellony.

What the hell does permission have to do with it? If the owner is insured and the only way they will get you to pay is to give the driver "permission" unless it's reported stolen, of course they have permission.
