I just crashed into a lady, my fault truck locked up and ran into her. It just rained here a good amount. No injuries and we both have the same insurance. I’ve never been in a accident so what’s going to happen next? Damage was a couple of scratches on her vehicle and a dent on my truck.

If it’s under $1,000 or so I’d pay out of pocket and not report to insurance company

Do not admit fault, let someone else sort it out. At the worst you will get a letter from your insurance saying they paid the claim. If you have Germania you will probably get a letter stating they have dropped you, it happened to my wife her second claim in 17 years.

Progressive insurance both of us.

Got a ticket for failure to control speed.

She was driving a leased Mercedes, who knows what damages would come out too. Basically small scratches and plastic trim had marks.

Let insurance handle it, why you pay them.

Happened to me, and the guy sued me for 1 million.... He is now the nice new owner of an insurance fraud investigation....

What do I need to do on my end? How much does my insurance go up? Do I need to pay anything up front?

Whatever you do, don't let it steal your joy amigo...you pay ins for a reason & this is it & already in motion.

Where did the rain get you?? I would work on the speed control issue to see what you could do to minimize. Wish I could help but never been through it & would just want to guard my driving record & ins cost issues in the future.

It is what it is...roll with the punches.

Thank you I’m trying to stay positive. I used to work in the court for 6 years where the tickets was issued. Hopefully I can handle it easily .

I imagine since you both have the same insurance company, you will probably each
pay your deductible and call it a day.

Contest the ticket in court. The other party in the crash likely won’t show up, so they’ll (should) dismiss the ticket.
