Ok here’s the deal, toward the end of January, my younger brother, his girlfriend and another friend were at my parents house using the hot tub. I also store the RX-7 im my rents side driveway next to the house under a car cover. My brothers friend got out of the tub to go to his car for something and instead of going through the house he decided to jump from the patio over the grass to the side driveway. It is about a 3.5 foot jump. It was cold and the concrete was slippery and he slipped and used the drivers side front fender if the rx7 to catch his fall. Now there is a big ass dent (6"x10" oval) The sheet metal is creased and the paint is cracked pretty badly. He manned up and called me the next day and said he did it and said he would pay to have it fixed. So instead of totally fucking him over and taking it to a body shop and getting all the work done, i decided to order the fender from malloy mazda in virginia at a discount price. Then i would mount the fender myself and then get it sprayed to match. The fender ended up costing $215 shipped and i dont really know about paint yet. I called him 2 weeks ago and told him to have the money ready this week. I told him when i got the fender in this thursday i would trade him $215 for the invoice from mazda and then get back to him about the paint in a few weeks. He agreed to this this afternoon, I call him later this evening and now he says that his mother said that my parents should claim it on their homeowners insurance and he’s not paying. Any ideas??? Sorry for the long, drawn out story. ---

I don’t think you can claim your brothers stupid friends mistake on your home owners… :roll2: Call his parents directly and tell them you talked with your insurance provider and they don’t cover it. Then if they still say they won’t pay, tell them you filed a police report the day it happened before you found out their son did it, and if they really want to you’ll send the police over to ask him about it. See if they call your bluff… ---

:word: what jon said… He damaged your vehicle, he is responsible for it. You could put it on your homeowners but my guess is if you are doing it yourself the deductible will be about what you are paying to get it fixed. He fell on your car by doing something stupid… he should pay… afaik he is required to pay… get him arrested on vandalism charges or something then… ---

well, its a bit late for this, BUT FOR FUTURE REFFERENCE…when u talked to him about paying for it, you should havewrote something down on a piece of paper that stated that he agreed to pay for all the dammages. then had the both of you sign it. that way, he would have no choice but to pay u for it because he signed his name to something saying he would cover it. im assuming he is over 18. if not then have his parents sign the thing. since you didnt do anything like this, i would say talk right to his parents and tell them that thier son agreed to pay you for it. if need be go and do what onyx said, but i would consult an attourney first and see what he says to do. i would also make it clear to your attourney that this is a friend of your family and you really dont want to take them to court or anything, and all you want out of it is just to get your car fixed. otherwise thye will be ready to take them to court and everything jsut so they can make money. just my .02 ---

I’m trying to keep it non-violent for now just for the simple fact that i have neither a concience nor a soul so if it does get violent, it will be very ugly. ---
