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.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
