    At least he or she did the decent thing by leaving their details. I woke up to see my car hit and the idiot did not leave any details. I’m so upset 😢😢

      I’m very sorry for what you’re going through. Have you called the police yet? Perhaps someone filed a police report of what happened. Maybe your insurance protects against hit-and-run drivers.

      SAME. hi, i drove to school in my brand new (like 2 day old) car. i came back to my car in the parking lot and see it’s been dented (on the trunk) there is also a couple tiny scratched of paint that came off. it looks like someone backed into it and hit it and then just left. what do i do? talk to insurance abt it? or just get it fixed myself? or talk to my school and try to figure out who did it and have their insurance cover it? i don’t know how insurance and all that works, but i don’t want it to increase my or my cars insurance. i also don’t want it to reduce my cars value bc the dent will go into its history.

    So what if it’s a hit and run with no witnesses .-.

    • @jesselopezvlog
      @jesselopezvlog  2 роки тому

      Hello Joe GUAPO - even if you don’t intend to file a claim, it’s important to update your provider about any damage to your car. If you don’t you could end up invalidating your coverage. Also - if somebody finally comes through as being a witness or they turn themselves in, you never filed, so it would either be out-of-pocket expenses or no deductible towards the claim.

    This won't work in India and you will get lot of eye witnesses. And best thing is that ultimately you have to bare your damage expenses.

      @@yours1ana Sorry for the late message. I hope you were able to talk to your school and file a report with the police. They should have been able to comfort you and offer guidance on all the steps available. Hopefully, there had to have been a witness or two. There had to have been damage to the other vehicle that hit you and hopefully they did the right thing and filed a report with the police. Your insurance shouldn’t go up, since it was not your fault, in my opinion. Depending how it gets fixed sometimes cars don’t lose value. That only comes into play if you’re trying to sell it. Sending you positive energy.

      @ thank you for the reply! we just decided to try to get it fixed ourselves, but it’s about $1500, so i think i might just let it stay. i still think it’s so unfair and wrong of the person to jsut hit it and leave. like do they not feel guilty?

      That is very true about Carfax and car depreciation. It can also affect your car insurance payout if there’s a total loss. You can also make the most of it in some cases. For instance, my car insurance used to be really high to drive a sports muscle car. After the hit and run, my car insurance became considerably lower, once they checked the VIN number.

    • @jesselopezvlog
      @jesselopezvlog  2 роки тому +4

      Hi Adrian,
      You and the other driver should report the accident to the police so they can file a report.
      Drivers need to exchange names, insurance information, phone numbers, and license plate numbers. If you have evidence such as photographs and documentation of your injuries, hold on to these so you have evidence.
      Then, tell your insurance company as soon as possible.
      If asked, you can show your driver’s license to any other driver involved in the accident.
