Fred,
All the suggestions I've read are good ones. Just one
more piece of advise (maybe it's obvious but): If you
do contact the DMV and Insurance Co. get everything in
writing if you arrange a deal. Start a paper file and
keep it with your other important information.
Documentation, should a dispute arrise, will be your
best friend.
