file a claim with ICBC to save the hassle

How bad is the damage?

"Excuse me, is your daughter single?

I'd have no issues taking the car to my bodyshop, getting an estimate, then having her sign a paper admitting fault and agreeing to pay the full amount of the estimate, in cash. If she disputes the amount or won't sign, then ICBC it is.

Shady on your end but this way you can make some money in between as well, for your time.

You really think you deserve to "make money for your time" when your nice enough neighbour nudges your car and admits fault without pursuing them?
So fucking greedy.

Yeah, but what if there's hidden damages once the body shop starts stripping the car? That's why I tell people to just go through ICBC because if the cost ends up skyrocketing, ICBC will take care of it. If the cost ends up being close to what the estimate was and she wants to buy out the claim, she's more than welcome to.

Also, does she have any damage on her car? If she's has a clean driving record, it's better that she just go through her insurance as your car will be repaired and she just has to pay the deductible on her's. If she calls ICBC, they'll tell her how much increase in premiums she will be facing... not much if she has a clean record.

This happened to my friends father. He got lightly rear ended and instead of making a claim they settled privately. A few months down the road the gas tank ruptured. What happened was in accident the tank got damaged but not to the point of rupturing. They found out later when they removed the tank that it was indeed damaged from the accident. Nice guys finish last here which ended up costing the owner more.

Another incident where someone hit me and we tried to settle privately and he ended up going MIA. I just straight up told him you have X amount of days and I'm going up icbc. After I made the claim all of a sudden he makes contact but at that point I just went full ignore mode, since I had a witness.

True, but this time I'd be ok with it based on the OP's description of the damage of it being just a dent, bumper misaligned, and scuffs and scratches. The risk of the costs "skyrocketing" is going to be very small.

You're right, it's a risk/judgment call but if a neighbour's an old lady who chose to walk over and admit fault/mistake, I'd be willing to cut them a break if they'd rather settle it privately and I felt the repairs are basic enough. But the second he/she questions the estimate or refuses to sign, I'd call off the deal.

In the end if the damage isn't significant she can buy out the claim through icbc and her insurance won't go up.
