I bumped a car while parking. PLEASE HELP!?

I was parallel parking and bumped into the car behind me because I was on ice and slid into him. It was maybe a 0.5mph bump. I got out and my car had tiny scuffs on the bumper and the other cars scuff was small and barely noticeable. The rest was normal. I see this car everyday since I work in the area, should I leave a note tomorrow? I feel guilty.

    That's what insurance is for, if it's just a little scuff i don't think the owner will make a sean about it. To be honest sometimes scuffs and small barely noticeable scratches are not worth the insurance claim do to the cost of a deductible and a hike in your insurance rates after a claim. If you are that concerned about it I would go and talk to the owner first. Most people will settle for cash or an out of pocket repair before they will make an insurance claim.

    Even a little scuff on the other car's bumper could cost several hundred dollars to repaint.......they will be without their car for a couple days and need a rental........be inconvenienced. Maybe a car is no big deal to you, but it might be to them.

    in re: "Please Help" . . . just what do you expect us to do about it?

    yes leave a note, if his/her insurance is liability only, not full cover then he/she must pay to fix that minor body work if that minor blemish irritate him/her so much.

    then offer to pay the repair cost.

    but u can say u need time to gather money if the repair cost estimation exceed ur current financial strength.
