I got rear ended yesterday?

No. However, it would be unethical to keep the money and then file a claim/law suite against them. People are allowed to work out their own solutions to disputes like that before taking it to the insurance company.

Both your insurance company and his would be perfectly happy if the two of you were able to work out the situation yourself. If you were not hurt in any way, having the at-fault driver simply pay directly for the damages is a perfectly reasonable solution. He'll pay more in the short run than if you filed a claim, but he'll keep his rates from going up.

However, if you let this individual pay for the damages, keep in mind it's on you to make sure he pays. If he doesn't want to give you any money up front, you should be very cautious. But you can always file a claim later, particularly if you have a police report that confirms he was at fault.

There is nothing illegal about private settlements, but if you go through the insurance company, the work would be guaranteed by the insurer, you would be able to claim for a hire car while yours is being repaired and claim for any out of pocket expenses, and there would be a record on file so that if you later discover further unseen damage to your car that is related to this accident, you can claim under the same claim record.

It's up to you what you do, but if I was in a non-fault accident, I would want to go through the insurer. You wont lose any no claims discount if it isn't your fault and you get the benefit of professional advice from their staff. The other guy could be trying to hide the fact that he is not insured by paying in cash, and if it goes through insurance, he would be caught out.

it may be whiplash, tight neck muscle tissue. The muscle tissue in many situations tightened up while they have some trauma to them and that's what your neck muscle tissue have performed. they're going to unlock by utilising themselves or you may help them out and get rid of the soreness superb now by utilising freeing them up your self and this is the thank you to unlock the whip-lashed muscle tissue: Neck placed your palms alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle decrease than your ear and your palms are on the decrease back of the muscle in the back of your neck. Squeeze your thumb and palms jointly and carry. relax your physique. After approximately 30 to 40 5 seconds, once you don’t sense the muscle tissue freeing to any extent further, slowly decrease your head so a ways as you may, launch the rigidity yet carry your neck diminished for yet another 30 seconds. For suitable effects relax your physique first by utilising taking a deep breath and exhaling then proceed to be this rigidity-unfastened.

No it's your money. there is no law that says that you have to sue it to fix your car. You can sue it for whatever you want. That being said, you can't no go back and try to get a settlement through insurance. They will likely deny the claim if the other guys says that he already paid you.

You got rear ended? Sounds wrong, especially when paired with "Would it be illegal to keep the money?"

But no, i don't think it would be. Thx for the lulz :]

Enough about your preferences, yes you can keep the money but if you do it is a settlement and you cannot make any further claim against him for the accident.
