Mom was such a nice person that she felt bad for the girl and agreed not to report the accident . When she gave the estimate to the girl, everything changed ! You can guess what happened- the girl now claimed the accident wasn't her fault, and wasn't going to pay anything.

What a mess- I think Mom had to go through her own insurance company to get it fixed. Don't remember if they ever went after the girl or not, but it was definitely a good lesson in getting things in writing....

OMG! Sound horrible.
