As some of you may know, a client of mine backed into my parked GTS over a month ago. He assured me that he's good for the money (he's loaded), and wanted to settle without getting the insurance involved. It took a couple weeks for me to get a quote for repairs, but for hood repair and paint, the total came out to about $7500. I was nice not to demand a new hood... the damage is small and repairable.
So about 2 weeks ago, I tell him the amount and he starts talking about maybe going through insurance. Now he says because of the holidays, can he get back to me after new years to talk to the insurance, etc.? I know I'm way to calm for my own good here, but I don't see a huge issue waiting another week considering the shops aren't open anyways.
Question is... is there some sort of statute of limitation on how long you wait to report an minor accident in California?
And how long do I wait before I take a bat to his knees?
