after class, i was heading to work from school. get in my car, another car is waiting for my parking spot with the blinker on. I slowly start to back out and then see this elantra flying around the other car and bam, swipes my rear bumper. i stopped and got out of my car, he stopped... at the end of the parking lot. and got out. I looked at my car, just scratch that went to the plastic his car, looked like his bumper was pushed in and maybe fender bent a little. he said i poped out of nowhere but he was clearly speeding past the other car that was going to make a right into my parking spot.. anywho.. since it wasnt that big we just left. I have the license plate number but was in a rush to get to work. It's the bumpers in the same spot just scracthed to the plastic..


now should I file a claim? who's fault would it be? I read somewhere that most parking lot accidents are 50/50 responsibility? I'll post pics later.. ugh not a good month -.-

Should you file a claim? No. If the damage down to your car was relatively minor, I wouldn't even file a claim. It would not be worth the deductible.

If the damage is minor don't bother, waste of time. Accident faults are based on your word + his word + witnesses.

If you really wanna file a claim, I hope you have the person number that was waiting for your spot.
