Hmmm My question was too long for the thread title, but…
What if your neighbor asked you to run into town to get some thing because she didn’t have her car running right now? I was thinking with my hypothetical it could be dog food, but I have plenty of dog food so we can’t use that.
She needs a pregnancy test! No, it’s not that.
But let’s say, in the hypothetical that your neighbor really needs some thing and can’t get to town to get it and it’s already after dark… You agreed to go get it for her and then on the way there you slam into a deer and it completely totals your car. Is she responsible to pay your deductible to the insurance company? If you had been at home, just watching TV like your normal self you would never have hit that deer.
This is all hypothetical. This did not happen to me.
In my opinion, I think the neighbor should have to pay the $500 deductible.

If I was the neighbour morally I would offer to pay the $500 but if I were the driver I would refuse to accept it

the neighbour isn't obligated to pay, the accident was in no way her fault... but if the neighbour had any sense of responsibility they would offer to pay and if the driver had integrity they would say no.....

I thought you had an accident mid sentence!
I agree with both of the above.

I saw this on Judge Judy. Neighbor not obligated to pay but they could offer to pay half.

I was thinking about it more. Hypothetically. And if I lost my car that means I’m going to have to get a rental that I will probably hate. Insurance only covers it for three weeks so I would have to buy a new car in that time. I wouldn’t have time to make an informed decision. I would be stressed out. I would miss my regular car.
So I do not want to add insult to injury by paying that deductible.
Note to self: do not do any favors for people that involves driving. Especially at night. Hypothetically.
