Hi I was wondering if someone can give me there opinion on this I am only young (22) and this is my first crash.
It's a long story but have tried to explain as best I can!
I had pulled out of a side street and onto a main road going right, I had gone over a bus lane, the opposite side of the road and I was just on my side of the road when a car came out of nowhere from the side street opposite to where I came out of. He didn't even stop just come flying out going right and smashed into the side of me. My car is damaged on the left side from the back of the passenger door to the tyre. The front left side of his car is damaged. At the accident he wanted to pay for my car to be fixed as he admitted full fault. So I said ok the next day I went to two garages to get quotes and they both said its a right off and going to cost over £1000 I only bought the car for £800 so I rang the man who crashed into me and said I have no choice but to go through insurance so I did. 3 hours later I get a phone call off insurance with him saying it's now half my fault! Ive got text messages proving he didn't want to go through insurance, there where no witnesses and the police attended as I phoned them due to one of the friends of the young man who crashed into me getting aggressive and shouting at me and telling the man who crashed into me 'it's not your fault' just wondering where I stand and wether me having evidence he wanted to sort it himself is going to help me. Also his car is a cat D
Thank you
