"Hey, Lady, Teach Your Kids to Behave!" ... 300,000 Won in Cash and a Bodily Injury Claim Demanded Over Child's Door Ding

Other driver: "I won't have it repaired since it's a new car"; demands cash and a bodily injury claim
"I admit my child was at fault, but I'm upset they yelled at us"

A story about a young child accidentally causing a so-called "door ding" on a parked neighboring vehicle, after which the occupants of the other vehicle demanded 300,000 won in cash and a bodily injury insurance claim, was shared online.

Recently, a post titled "Request for a Bodily Injury Insurance Claim After a Door-Ding Accident" appeared on an online community. The writer explained that the accident happened while an acquaintance was driving the writer's child home. According to the post, the child opened the car door and hit the neighboring vehicle. The acquaintance did not notice the door ding, but realized what had happened when the woman driving the other vehicle rolled down her window and shouted, and then apologized.

However, the woman shouted again, "Hey, lady, teach your kids to behave!" The writer also claimed that a man who got out of the passenger seat opened the rear door of the acquaintance's car and yelled at the child inside, "Hey! Open the door properly!"

The man then said, "Your kid made the car shake back and forth!" and "Teach your kid properly!" before slamming the car door shut. The writer explained that the child got scared and started crying, and continued to cry until the other people left the scene.

The writer arrived at the scene after being contacted, apologized to the other party and said they would cover the repair costs. The writer said they offered to handle the matter through personal liability insurance or to pay the costs after the repairs. However, when the writer's spouse arrived and tried to inspect the damaged area of the vehicle, the other party suddenly raised their voice and protested. The writer said an emergency roadside assistance worker from the insurance company and the police also arrived during the incident.

The woman said she could not let the matter go because of the writer's spouse and demanded that an insurance claim be filed. The man with her also demanded a bodily injury claim, saying that the woman driver had been startled. A property damage insurance claim was reportedly filed at the scene.

The next day, the other party contacted the writer through the insurance company and demanded 300,000 won in cash and a bodily injury claim, saying they would not repair the vehicle because it was new. The writer said they were considering paying the repair costs in cash without filing a bodily injury claim. The writer added, "I completely understand that they might be upset because the car is new. I'll provide full compensation, but I'm also upset that I had to put up with all that frustration and that they acted that way in front of my child."
