Amy’s daughter got into her first car wreck. It wasn’t her fault and it happened in a parking lot, so the driver was going slow. She was pulling out of a spot and the driver that hit her didn’t notice she was behind him and backed right into her door. When they got out and looked at the damage, he tried to offer her $100 to not get insurance involved. Amy thought her daughter would take that deal, but instead, she did the right thing and got his info and contacted the insurance company. There was enough damage that parts were on the ground so it will need to get repairs. Amy was glad that everyone was okay and that her daughter handled the situation maturely!
