besides writing the numbers or typeing them, they should be spelled out so there is no saying "Oh,I didnt' see the two O's" or anything .

A: Did you have car insurance? The safest thing to do is to turn this over to your car insurance and let your insurance company deal with this. What I have seen go wrong with these situations is the person in your shoes thinks they are paying for the property damages and this will all go away. Meanwhile the other person contacted their insurance and were told that they can get medical treatment using their PIP coverage. When that person finished with their medical treatment then their insurance company comes after you for reimbursement for the PIP paid out. They can also hire an attorney who will sue you for their personal injury damages.

Getting a release from this person for the money you pay them is certainly a good idea, but unless you do it correctly you will still have problems. First of all, the release would have to be for both their property damage and their personal injuries. Second, you would have to be sure that they own the property you are paying for. Suppose someone else legally owns the motor bike? Then you paid the wrong person and got the release from the wrong person.

Turn this over to your insurance company and let them deal with it. If you don't have insurance, go and see an attorney and make sure you have covered all your bases with a release.
