Q: Is 6 months too long of a time for someone i rear-ended to ask me for money? She wants $300 that i dont have right now.
At the time I had money to pay her. I even called her 2 weeks after it happened and she said she hadnt done anything about it yet. I offered to have it fixed by my mechanic but she said she was busy. Now its 6 months later and she is asking for $300, but im out of work right now.
A: No, six months is not too long of a time for someone you rear-ended to ask you for money. They can ask you or sue you for money for at least two years since the day of the accident. If you cannot afford the $300 right now, it may be in your best interest to arrange a payment plan with her so you can put this matter behind you.

A: Way cheap. Better than having an injury claim on your record. Make sure you get a release of all claims and put settlement of all claims on the check.
