Retired	You should have had a Police report filled out. It depends on the insurance laws in your state, you may have to pay some, he may have to pay all, Call your insurance agent. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

CwboyBill	This person isn't your friend. I suggest you file a claim under your own collision coverage. Then your company will subrogate against your 'friend' for the entire amount owed (inc your deductible which will be refunded to you). This bozo is far more likely to respond to an insurance company than to you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

George D	Doesn't sound like much of a friend. If you let him drive it, then that makes you at least a little bit responsible - but he did the wrecking, and should have to pay whatever it costs to fix it. I would have probably already beaten the sh!t out of him - just for wrecking it, then again for pulling that 'i'll pay 60%' line out of his azz. Where I come from - that would earn you some missing teeth. I would go ahead and get it fixed if you can afford it - tell him he can pay you back in payments, but if he d!cks around at all, then take him to small claims court - and bring some witnesses. (or just kneecap him with a tire iron or something and tell him you expect your money, or this is just the beginning). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bostonianinmo	File it with your insurance company. That's what insurance is for. If you don't have insurance coverage you'll have to sue him. Hopefully the damage is within your state's small claims limit or close to it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Scott H	Not much of a friend. Yes, you can take him to court and with good witnesses, you should probably win your case. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Brain	Be smart about this. If you haven't already gotten ugly about it, then just go about in a friendly way and say...you know why don't you pay for 100% of it since you did all the damage. Lets work out a payment plan like...... and write it all down. Have him sign. Now, you know when you go to court, guess who will win? Good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ham B	I see small claims court in your future. I do believe that you would win the case, but probably lose a friend in the process. Just remember that you are the victim. Do not feel guilty for making him pay the consequences of his actions. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
