Doesn’t matter what his insurer says.
You hit a parked car, you pay.
I’d get an attorney and sue for tortuous relief.

Its the principal of the thing Actually it's the principal, plus the interest.
Unless she's talking about the unfairness, in which case it would be a principle but not the principal.
Don't journo's have to take English courses anymore?

Also, note in the future:
“if you buy a car on credit always purchase GAP insurance. $20 bucks a year and your car would be paid off. then you go get another loan”.
I do wonder how you could possibly owe so much much money on a 4 year old car.
I just bought a New Fusion for $23k.

Too bad there isn’t a REAL “Leverage” group to help the lady.

"Billionaire New York Daily News publisher Mort Zuckerman left the scene of a Hamptons accident after plowing his fancy Lexus into a parked Ford and now his insurance company is sticking the stunned owner of the totaled car with the $4,000 tab."Members of the Tribe are not bothered by the petty concerns of the little people.

When there's potentially THAT much money to pursue, she "loved that car, and it was her 'baby'...." "She can't sleep at night because she has nightmares about her beautiful dream car...." She probably won't go that dramatic, but there's no doubt she's already suffering a bunch of stress over this loss.
It would have been the right thing to do for a man of Zuckerman's means to get a hold of her and make up the damage by paying off her loan, then getting her a better replacement vehicle, sparing her the added burden of being left hanging with the balance owing on her car loan.
A billionaire doesn't even need car insurance to begin with. He's got the financial ability to make good on any damage he might cause to some other person's vehicle.

hmmmm.... Zuckerman left the scene of the accident and avoided getting busted for DUI etc. if he’d had a few drinks, as is likely!! Does a sober person ram into a parked car on a clear dry day????? I don’t think so!!

Please do the math for us mortals. Be sure to include lots of minuses.

...
the POS avoided a DWI so the LEAST it could do is pay off the car...The Ted Kennedy course on avoiding detection of drunken driving must have been a help...just leave and stay away long enough to sober up.

Hit and run is hit and run, period.
Should not cost the woman one cent because they captured the perp and I don't give a damn who he is or thinks he is.
Lock the bastard up if he doesn't make it right.
