Today in the morning I met an accident.I was driving my brand new Maruti Ritz.There was a TATA indigo infront of my car,it suddenly pressed the brake and I was not in a position to control my car and the frontal portion of my car collided with the rear portion of that car.
The owner of TATA car tried to avoid a cow which I didn't notice at all and anyway it happened.My bonnet was distorted,bumper was broken and radiator was broken and coolants fell down.I towed the car to the nearest Maruti dealer from where I bought the car.
Now the TATA car owner has the third party insurance and his car is given for rent.He told me that as I hit his car from the back so it was my fault and claimed money.I said no issue but you should take it to a garage and tell me your estimate.He took his car to his gearage and the mechanic of that garage gave me an estimate of RS.20,500/-
His:-
1] Rear bumper fully damaged-so it has to be replaced.
2]2 backlights broken-so both to be replaced.
3]The rear dicky to be dented and paint (silver colour)
4]The rear bumber to be silver colour paint.
5]There is a minor bulge in the right side of the fendor-which to be dented and painted too.
I know 3rd party insurance holder can not claim for body damage.He may complaint a FIR against me and go to court.
I wish to avoid all these and want for a settlement.
If,then at what amount approximately....or, any other idea.
Waiting eagerly to listen from you guys.
