Double jeopardy applies to being tried twice for the same incident within the same jurisdiction. So maybe she could get this moved to federal court. After all, it seems to be an international incident, what with yaks and all involved.

To OP, apologies for making light of your situation. By all means talk to your insurance agent, file a report with your side of the story, and seek his advice for further action.

Shes looks at her bumper ...and so do I. There are a few scuffs and a little 1/4 inch paintless spot (she had a white bumper) and shes trying to figure out which blemish was made by my bumer. I'm looking....and came to the conclusion that no way I did any of it. First off...if my bumper did touch hers.....it would have had to been .5 mph or slower. Pluys any of the marks on her bumper did not coincide with my bumper. I'm thinking ..this chick is nutz! I try to stay cool and explain a little physics to her. LOL! Bottom line........I gave her my drivers liscense and she took down my info....saying that she probably will not do any follow up....but just in case there is damage she can't see....or whatever. I say......whatever lady.

Well a week later she leaves a message on my front house door...saying to call her. I call her and she non challantly says it is going to cost 350 bucks to fix her bumper. By now ...I'm ready to crawl throught he phone wire and strangle her. I say to her there is no way I caused any of the marks on her bumper.I say...what ever..and hang up. She calls back saying "don't hang up on me! If that is the way you want to handle it I'll go to the incurance companys and you'll end up paying more." Actually I don't remember what she exactly said...I just hung up again. What a kook! Now I'm wondering what this wacko is gonna do next. She does not have my insurance co info, and no way I'm going to let her try to suck off my insurance policy if I can help it. My next move should be.......?????????
it sounds like you were going way to slow to cause any real noticable damage. if you really did hit her by accident by going that slow there really should not be much damage.Was there a dent ? What was she driving ? It may sound like she is trying to get a free ride and nail it on you. Good luck.

Did you get pictures when the accident occured? This will help you if it goes to court. Expecially if their is damage that occured after the accident occured.

I'd be more concerned about this chick showing up at your house. You didn't give her your insurance info, but you gave her your address???

You can call him a troll if you want. I'll call him an a$$hole.
