Since your old boss is the third party in the accident, you can not tell them what to do. He has the choice to go with his own insurance or even get it repaired at his perfered work shop and have a fair and reasonable assessment done on the car.

Since the car is a total loss from another claim it is not possible to get another quote separate to this, it would be stupid asking him to do so knowing his car has been writen off, so a fair and reasonable assessment would be done on behalf of the insurance company backed up with a de-valuation report on the total loss if the matter goes to court.

Do the right thing and pay up, if you were in his shoes would'nt you expect to be paid if someone damaged your car and de-valued it. Besides you have acknowledged that it was your fault on this posting & this would hold up in court if it went to that extreme. It would be best if you made a fair agreement with him, Karma can bite back bigger and better!

You've made one MASSIVE assumption and that is that his payout was less due to the damage caused by the OP.

So until his boss can provide some details regarding his claim, I'll stick with my suggestion to tell the boss that he can go fornicate with himself.

Or fornicate with a pineapple.

If he didn't inform the insurance company of prior damage when he received the payout, then he breached his contract/agreement ad that is called fraud son!

I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have informed the insurance company.

As in my first post have advised to contact the old boss to discuss and suss out what info he has and ask for images, not making assumptions just stating facts of what could have happeded since there is not many details in the first post. As for telling some one to fornicate with them selfs isnt going to help anyone. Better to sort the issue out now rather than latter so call your old boss and get as many details as you can.

Dont need to advised your insurance company of minnor scratches or bumps that are under of value of $500 to repair which sounds like this accident, So no fraud there mate!

Just joining a couple more dots Brian...

If the boss has been paid out on his write-off; and assuming the scratch on the boss's car might not have been subtracted from the "sum insured" if it was an "agreed value policy";...

my question is, "Isn't demanding his ex-employee to pay up for the bumper scratch a form of double-dipping?"

I would concur with you if the car was devalued on the basis that his (the boss's) policy was only "market value".

If so, I'm wondering what's wrong with OP asking a couple of 'leading questions' ??

If the car was insured as an agree value, and the ex boss has been paid out an agreed value amount. if you chose to ignor him, he can lodge a claim with his insurance agaist you to play the game. As the damage on the car can effect the salvage amount the insruance company will follow it up to recover costs.

If the insurance company did not de-value the car from the old damage, since the claim is from around 1 year ago as stated in the first post, the insurance renewal would have been done on the vehicle. The ex boss may have accepted a lesser agreed value due to a small amount of old damage where then is liable to chase you up for any cost. This would be hard to prove but would need to find how much the value of the car droped over the insurance year and if it was insured for red book - glasses guide value or lesser amount.

Best to call your ex boss and ask the questions.

He didn't get devalued for the scratch. It was very very minor. He is chasing me up for it because the company is hard up and it was only a few weeks ago when I left.

I believe he is just annoyed that I am very VERY glad to be gone.

If that's so, then like I suggested, he's double-dipping.

Therefore Birds' summation still stands.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
