Hi all,
Just to check, is the following claim by an accident vehicle reasonable?
1) Vehicle #1 brake. Vehicle #2 bang into #1.
Results - Vehicle #1 rear bumper and Vehicle #2 front bumper/bonnet badly damaged. This is because the impact was quite powerful.
2) I, being the 3rd vehicle, bang into Vehicle #2, lightly.
Results - Vehicle #2's rear bumper got a scratch. No dent. For my car, only the licence plate cracked. The damage is low because the impact was only a light "thud", not a huge "bang".
As the damage was so small between #2 and myself, we went to a workshop, seek opinion, etc, and we settle privately on the spot ($50 for spraying the scratched rear bumper).
Now 3 months later, Vehicle #2 claim >$5 thousand insurance for damage to own vehicle on me. Is this reasonable? How to write in to explain to insurance company?
