Modern Vespa

No one forgets that they hit and damaged another vehicle regardless of the other events of the day.

Especially with their new truck!!

Well, I decided to go the direct route and straight up ask if she did it.
She said she did and didn't think there was too much damage and got wrapped up in to events of the day(it was a hectic day, not that it's really an excuse).
I explained the amount of damage and how much more my GTS cost than some "little scooter", and that actually she had done about 300-400 hundred dollars worth of damage.
She was apologetic, and offered to reimburse me for any repairs.
I guess I can't really expect any more than that.
I'm still looking for a new job though. Thank you for the advice, and letting me rant.

I don't want to offend anyone here, but I'm curious as to why so many people here so passively allow these things to go unchallenged. I frequently see where someone gets bumped at a light or forced to take a spill due to being cut off and the response is always just some unhappy words and a ride away. These are abuses/auto accident that would certainly result in accident claims were they both cars. Maybe I make way less that everyone else, because I can't imagine someone knocking over or bumping a $6000+ scoot...boss or not, and me not pursing compensation to fix it. Especially someone like the boss in this story that shows no remorse or responsibility at all.

Again, I'm not belittling anyone, I'm just amazed these abuses seem to regularly happen and so few people stand up for themselves and their property.

Also want to add that it sucks this happened to your scoot, wheelz.

I look at the side and sure enough plastic skirt piece all scratched to shit, leg shield trim cracked and scratched up, mirror stem bent, chrome on mirror scratched, and the same for my bar end.

Insurance,registration,license please.

What a weasel, driving a huge vehicle that she can't even park, then weaseling out until you called her on it. You should hammer 'em, who wants to work for an unethical weasel like that.

Make up a list of everything you have to fix with prices and give it to her. Don't give her too much time too pay. Some people have a crazy way of changing their mind about paying once they find out how expensive it will be. She might even turn around and say it was your fault for parking there.

This incident would lead me to question her kitchen ethics too.

A steak drops to the floor...no problem...right back on the grill.

Sounds crazy, but we know she doesn't think much of someone's $6000+ scooter, so how much would she care about lint and germs on someone else's $20 steak? If nobody sees it its ok, right?

Isn't that hit and run?

I'd still get e notarized statement from the guys who witnessed it.

If she drags her feet, or even fires you, and only then you file a complaint... It looks like payback.

Trust me, the couple of bucks you'll pay for the notarized statement will be worth the knowledge that she can't turn around and make you out to be the bad guy.

I hate it when people get screwed over! Dammit people don't be so wimpy. But don't also be a total ass.

Going after someone's insurance benefits is a whole lot different than a civil suit that effects them financially. For some reason people think its the same thing. It's not.

To be fair, taking away someone's option to pay out of pocket or go through their insurance does have a potential financial impact. Their rates will almost certainly go up as a result of the claim.

Personally, I don't have much (any) sympathy for this woman and don't feel she deserves much (any) slack. But let's not pretend that there is no financial downside to imposing the insurance route on her.

Thanks Mutt, you put it right! There should be a financial impact! I'd be on it like flies on...

Police report, witness report, insurance report, and total documentation. The driver is a dullard and deserves the full monty!
