Accident Today, advice needed
I was driving down to Simcoe today (the red arrow on the map), someguy with an old Mercury hit me(blue arrow) on the driver side front fender.
That area of Richmond is a little tricky since they have red flashing lamp for Richmond cars and we at Simcoe have a stop sign.
Richmond is as you know 4 lanes and the cars on the 3 north lanes were stopped for me to pass but on the last lane this guy decides to hit on my car.
We haven't reported the accident yet, I got my car towed(need fender, bumper, lower bumper etc) and his was drivable. He says he will get a quote tomorrow so that we can 'settle' without the insurance involvement. He wants me to pay some portion of his damage and call it off.
Since I have all kinds of insurance problems (2 lost tickets this year, reneval hasn't showed up) I am inclined to settle but not sure who is in fault.
Who do you guys think is at fault here?
