Driver Hit Me, Threatening To File Hit-and-run After We Spoke..

Card image cap

So on the way to the store on Christmas Eve while I was making a left turn a driver came through the same light, going too fast and not paying attention, and hit my car. It caused front end damage, pushing my passenger side tire in, denting my door to where it hardly opens, and cracking my suspension. His car had scratches. We both stopped.

As soon as we got out of our vehicles he started to say, “Let’s keep this simple. Please, let’s keep this simple.. I just got this car.” Young kid, probably 17, maybe 18. I was also shook and upset. I was about to sell said car to buy a new one because the one that got hit had been constantly overheating and having issues that had already cost me well over $2k.

That being said, we both agreed to let it go with no police report and settle it. He says I hit him. I say he hit me. Today he messaged me saying if we don’t resolve it today he is going to file a police report for a hit and run. He is still driving his car as it only had scratches. Mine is immobile and going to be such a costly repair I’m likely going to end up junking it.

Bottom line: I don’t know what to do. Advice?
