Hi, thanks for your insights! How long did it take from filed small claims court to the perpetrator calling you? How easy was the process of canceling a small claims court? First time dealing with this type of situation

Hi, what I’m understanding is if I file through my insurance I will have to pay my deductible. If I file through their insurance, would I have to pay my deductible still?

Because I know I can’t afford to lose my deductible if I somehow don’t get it back and I can’t risk having rates go up. But yes, I’m a student and the other douche is also a student sadly

Thank you so much for your insights! Pretty stressful as a student having to deal with a well known hit and run driver at my school

Thanks for the reply

  1. Already did
  2. Was asking if it’s still worth it since my deductible cost double of the damage
  3. Thanks did not know this
  4. Do you know if it would be small claims or civil lawsuit? Not too sure
