In July I was rear-ended by a teenage girl. Neither of us sustained any injuries. Her car had little damage, mine considerably more. Her parents chose not to file a claim with their auto carrier. They paid for the work that was done on my car. I required a rental car for the three days that my car was in the shop. The parents agreed to pay for the charges, which I put on my credit card. I faxed the bill to them in September, mailed one in October and, recently, sent a certified letter indicating I would pursue action through an attorney or in small claims court if I was not reimbursed within two weeks. They want me to sign a waiver stating that I won’t pursue any action against them at any time in the future, prior to reimbursing me. I have no intention of pursuing any future action since I was not injured, however, I am hesitant to sign anything. Am I liable to sign this document in order to be reimbursed?
