So I was driving behind an '81 Volkswagen van in my BMW. Someone swerved into his lane, causing him to stop. I didn't stop in time and ended up rear-ending him. Nothing happened to my car, and only dented his bumper slightly. He asked for $150 to 'forget' about it, and I agreed to pay him, but, being 17 years old, didn't have $150 in cash on me. Since I didn't have the cash, he filed an insurance claim for around $1200, which my parents say is way too much for the old van. How long do you think it will take to settle this claim?
