I don't know if it matters, but this was on private property, in a
parking lot so no tickets were issued... This guy says he is going to
call his ins agent, should I call mine and make a claim for the
scratch on my trailer just to cover my ass?
----------------------------------------------

Here's my free advice, for what's it's worth:

1. Private property or not, a accident report should be filed with
the police, especially if he is
making noises about suing, or holding you responsible. You can
still do that.


Yep.

2. I'll bet if you check your insurance policy, you are *required* to
report to them any accident in
which a claim may be made.


I'd make this PRIORITY ONE.


3. Do both. Write down your recollection of what happened and make
copies. If insurance adjusters
start calling or asking for a statement, hand a copy of the same,
written statement to them and
any other authorized authority that asked for a statement.


Indeed. Pictures, paragraphs, etc. .... a preponderance of evidence is
what is likely to carry the day....

4. States vary with their insurance regulations. Check yours.


Yep.

Just an update.. Geico got a good chuckle out of this. They are going to
call this guy and tell him to get lost and learn to drive...

Unless he is a customer of theirs and he has notified them or he has
filed a claim against you already, it is unlikely GEICO is going to call
him.

Oh...you called your insurance company. Well, it is likely your
insurance company will call his insurance company first. It is unlikely
a representative of your insurance company is going to tell your
adversary here to learn how to drive or to get lost. Big time auto
insurance companies usually don't act the same way as short-tempered
little schitts likeyou.

Little follow up.. The guy called me this morning and asked me to pay
$138 for the buff and blend. I called Geico, and a nice lady named
Nicole took his number and I probably talking to him right now. She
said no matter where or how I was parked, legally or illegally, she is
going to tell him it is his fault and that if he wants to get paid he
will have to go through his insurance company.. period...

Gotta' love the little green Lizard...
