Bummer this happened ! , hopefully the dude is standup and you can work it outside the , "system". I hope everything turns out great for both of you.
You probably weren't injured , but watch for signs of it. Best wishes for both of you !
Thanks, man. Talked with the guy at length, yesterday. Thus far, everything seems copasetic. If things work out as we agreed to, he will hand over some cash to cover my repairs when he receives his next paycheck. He assured me that he isn't going to "ghost me", reminding me that I have a photo of both his license and insurance card. Said he needed his current funds to replace the radiator and headlights so he has a vehicle to drive to work, otherwise, he would have just paid me right then. Sounds reasonable, and I can accept that. Still, until there's cash in my hand, there's always the chance...
