Backed into parked car, no damage whatsoever, no note. Am I a criminal?



I just moved a few days ago into an apartment complex where the spots are very narrow and difficult to get out of. In the few days I have been there, I have already witnessed an accident (where both parties seemed to agree no damage = don't bother) and noticed many dings on the sides of doors and bumpers from...
If someone calls you on it, just explain that you saw no damage and - well - basically tell them what you told us. You'll be fine.
maybe some people have experienced that. i have not. my ex boyfriend wrecked my car by backing out of the space so rapidly and not looking back that he ran into a tree and gave us painful whiplash. he told me he was a very good driver because he could take a u turn rapidly. multi-car accidents are sometimes very difficult to sort out. in most jurisdictions, there is some shared responsibility between the parties. since you hit the truck in front of you before the car hit you from behind, you would be responsible for the damage to the front of your car. the person who hit you would be responsible for the damage done to the back of your vehicle. i once had an abhorrent admirer, and he eventually sexually assaulted me. i don't even know how many times i told him prior to that that i wasn't interested, but it was definitely more than about ten times. he came over one night and asked me to let him in my apartment just to talk and to say goodbye. i thought (stupidly) that he was genuine, since that's all i wanted, and he knew it -- the goodbye part. people are unpredictable and can be dangerous. my advice is to just ignore, ignore, ignore. block if you need to, and don't give in to anything, even if you're "just trying to be nice" or "you don't want to hurt the person". and those people who are being harassed shouldn't tell someone to leave them alone, only to call *them* the next day - even just to check up on them and see if they're okay. no. just ignore them. don't send mixed messages, and there is no need to lose control over it. just ignore, block, and document it if it persists - because you never know if you have to make it a police issue. eventually people tire of not being recognized as that's all these types of people want -- attention. if they don't get it from one person, they eventually move on to someone else to get what they need. Unfortunately, the law changed and that is now a violation. He "picked" you out of the crowd.


Plead not guilty and contact a local attorney to try and knock it down from points to no points.


Good Luck.

[[email protected]](/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection) Hopefully, you called the police right when this occurred and have a police report. It will be up to the solicitor's office on whether or not to file charges. Unfortunately, this person may be judgment proof. This means that even if you were to sue them and successfully obtain a judgment, you may have no way of actually collecting against that judgment. The first time my GFs sister came to the big city to visit us she saw a business man in a nice suit downtown drop trow and explosively shit on a wall lol. What have you done on the citation? Has a conviction been reported to the DPS? If so, you may have obstacles in obtaining your driver's license. If you have not made an appearance in court yet, call a local lawyer to see what can be done to avoid a conviction. Good luck. the block has been already removed. You should look at the paperwork and see if there is any provision that would prevent a claim or lawsuit, but I would think you can sue Aaron’s. 


What you can sue them for would depend on what your damages are. If you’ve had medical appointments due to bed bugs, that would be part of your damages along with any personal injuries sustained and also the cost to clean your apartment or the furniture. Generally a private person cannot "file" criminal charges. You can, however, file a police report in order to begin prosecution. If she is making threats of bodily harm, take no chances. Call the police immediately.
