Oh my...
Before departing for Greece, I went on my final shopping tour this morning. You know getting the last things so neither my mom, nor the cats will be out of anything.
After shopping I pushed the full cart to my car. The parking area is completely new and practical, except for the fact that it is not flat but slightly skewed. Not really hard, but enough to make the caddies heading back to the shopping center all by themselves.
Since it is not easy to hold both the caddie and the car doors, well, I opened the car and left the cart where it was, thinking it would stay at least for that minute. Wrong thought.
It run down toward the shopping center at full speed me behind it, trying to catch it back. And well. ... A car came and the caddie hit it.
The car got dented pretty obvious.
The elderly lady from the car stayed pretty calm and kind. I handed her off my visit card and said that I will see with my civil responsibility insurance.
When she saw the visit card she said "Oh, you are Diana Kennedy?" "Thing is, I wanted to get in Touch with you anyway, because I organize a Christams market and wanted to ask you if you'd like to exhibit there".
I replied that would be wonderful. She said she'd call me later so we can see how to proceed with the damage and the exhibition plans.
She really called later and then said that she and her husband came to the conclusion that the dent is not worth the hassle with the insurance. They will leave it and live with it. I thanked her insisting that I owe them any illustration or other design job they'd like, for their flyers for example.
All things taken into account I was pretty lucky. Because honestly, I am pretty unaware *which* insurance I really could reach in such a case? Car insurance? It was not a car accident, although the damage was done to another car. My house insurance's attached civil responsibility? As far as I know that one works when people get hit by something from my propriety, a roof ceiling for example. So which contract?
I really need to look into this deeper, because the whole thing may have been a warning. Next person is probably not that kind as this friendly lady.
Looking forward to go to her Xmas event.
