traffic accident

I am having trouble with a $35,000 claim for a car accident I caused a year ago. It was a rental car and I had property damage insurance on the main unit, but I caused the accident when I removed the liability. The other driver's car had a little dent near one door, but I don't think it would cost this much because the original car was old and beat up. However, there is a note that it includes the administration fee and defense fee.
No one was injured at the time of the accident.
I often hear about whiplash later on, but … I don't know about that fact at this point.
The other party was an elderly Korean couple.
We are still new to the US and can't hide our impatience at this sudden situation.
Please, anyone can give us some advice.
I guess we should find a lawyer first ？.

？ In the U.S., in the case of an accident, if you negotiate directly with the other party, you may get into trouble, so you read the police report on the spot.
Liability for car insurance should be compulsory.
I went to my insurance company a few days ago, and they said that Liability is compulsory for everyone.
Liability does not cover you and your car in case of an accident. Only the other person's car.
Usually, the two parties do not deal directly with each other. The insurance companies communicate with each other.
Or, if you are going through a lawyer, the lawyers will communicate with each other.
If you don't have a police report, it's hard to say because you don't have any evidence.

If you have a lawyer, it will cost you money, but it is better to have the lawyers or the insurance company communicate with each other, based on the Police report.
I think everyone has to have Liability in California, and Liability only covers the other party's car and the other party only.
And if you don't have it, you have to pay for everything in an accident.

Or you can go to Small Claim Court and talk to the other party and the judge will decide. Unlike normal, this court deals with small items.

Thanks for writing. I wanted to reply, but it was like sending an email and I'm not sure how Vivinavi works, so I'll leave it here.
We did not have Liability, but had insurance on the rental car itself. The receptionist told me Liability was optional. That's not right either. This is a rental company with quite a lot of stores. We did not call Police. We had just come to the US and had an accident and were panicking.
The other driver was from Korea, but I don't know if he was in a hurry or what, but we didn't call them.
I have looked into credit card insurance and company insurance that would cover this accident, but I seem to be at a loss. We are still in the process of negotiating the amount.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.

In the U.S., you must call the police immediately after a traffic accident and get a police report. The first thing Americans do after an accident is to call the police. You have to do it. You should remember that.
If you don't get a police report, you will usually get into a dispute with the other party, and it will not work. If you call the police, the insurance company will take action, but if you don't get a police report, the insurance company will not take action because they don't want to pay you money. You will cry yourself to sleep.
Even now, it is better to go to Police and ask them to write a report and negotiate directly with the other party and have the insurance companies work with each other because it will never work.

About having a cat though I go back to Japan temporarily every year.

Greetings

I am posting because I am wondering about keeping a cat in the U.S. and was wondering if anyone currently has one or is familiar with the information.

I would like to have a cat, but I go back to Japan temporarily for 2 weeks every year.
I had not actually planned to have a pet, thinking about the furlough, but
I have always wanted to live with a cat, and now that my son has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and I know that living with a cat would have a very positive effect on him, I am seriously considering getting a cat now.
Most importantly, my son also loves cats.

What do cat owners do when they leave their homes for long periods of time? ？

If you have left your cat with someone you know, please let us know if there are any precautions or problems that have occurred.
If you have ever stayed at a pet hotel, please let us know the location and the rate （ I have looked at various websites, but many of them do not know the rate … I have the impression that there are not many hotels to begin with ）
If you are looking for a hotel in BibiNavi, please let us know the daily rate. …

I would like to be well prepared to pick up a guest, but I have little information about what to do if I am away from home for a long time …
By the way, my house is a townhouse （. I don't know if this is relevant, but … ）

If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.

Maki, thank you very much for the useful information. I didn't know that there was an option to call home, so this was very helpful. It is really helpful that you wrote down the specifics … such as camera installation, market rates, and how often to call a cat sitter. I see that the pet hotel is in a cage. I didn't know much about the actual situation and didn't know that it could be a bad place for cats. Thank you for telling us.
I really appreciate that Maki, who actually had a cat, told us in detail how she did it when she went back to Japan temporarily. It gave me a concrete image of what to prepare and research, and was very helpful. Thank you so much ！

Hello, I am a grandmother in my 70's and have been unable to work for a long time due to health problems. I see that there is such a thing as cat-sitting. I can drive and it wouldn't take much physical strength. I've never had a cat but I don't dislike cats, so I would like to do it for about 1 ～ 2 hours for a Japanese family. I'm glad I found your article very informative. I wrote to thank you for your help.

Hi, I have a cat that I brought from Japan.
I leave him at my friend's house when I travel or go back to Japan temporarily. When my friend is traveling, I take care of my friend's cat. I don't receive any fee from my friend because we both have the same cat. We only exchange souvenirs.
If you are traveling for 2 nights, you can leave your cat at home if you prepare more water and food, and if possible, two toilets.

When leaving your cat at a friend's house, you need to be careful that
① the cat is spayed or neutered （ cats have a 100% pregnancy rate after mating ）
② you also bring a toilet （ that has your scent on it
③ Have your nails clipped （ It's quite scary to clip someone else's cat's nails ）
④ Have a room or cage where your friend's cat can be alone and safe for the first few days.
A collapsible cloth gauge called a pet tent is useful.

Also, it is important that the cats are compatible with each other.
If the owner agrees, you can leave the cat with the owner for a few days as a trial to see if they are compatible.
However, they will probably be intimidated for the first few days, but you may be able to see if they are just playing with each other or if they are fighting so hard that they could injure each other.

Cat sitting is great to have a familiar home environment, but
if you ask for about an hour a day, the other 23 hours may be lonely because of the solitude.
We have heard stories of people who have become so lonely that they have started roughhousing in bed during readable trips.

Leaving her at a friend's house is not without stress ・ ・ ・

I hope you can find a cat friend near you ＾ ＾
I live in Foster City. I live in Foster City, but if you're nearby, I can take care of him for you.

By the way, townhouses have stairs, so it's a good environment for cats to get up and down exercise.

Charles, thank you very much for your very detailed information on leaving your friend at home. It was really helpful for you to write down exactly what to be careful of and what to prepare. Thank you also for your kindness to offer to take care of our child for 2 nights ！
We will not ask you to do so because we are a little far away, but we are very happy that you are kind enough to offer to take care of him for us! I am very glad to hear your kind offer to keep the cat. I didn't know that townhouses have stairs and are a good environment for cats, so it made me feel very comfortable to pick up a cat. Thank you very much for everything ！.

Like Charles, I also take care of my friend and hers. However, in our case, we go back and forth because our cats do not like to leave each other's homes,(恐怖い).
We live here in San Jose, so if you are in the area, please contact us.

Hello everyone.
We have a person who lives in San Diego who will be playing the koto for an important event.
However, according to the person, it is very difficult to bring a koto from San Diego, so we are looking for someone in the Bay Area who can lend us a koto.
Is there anyone who has a zither and would be willing to lend it to us ？
We would also be grateful. I know this is a self-serving question, but please do not hesitate to ask.

Hi
I'm moving to the Bay Area and was wondering if there are any other sites besides Zillow and Craigslist that you would recommend for apartment hunting ？

I'd also like to see some reviews to make sure I don't make any mistakes if I actually live there. I would also like to refer to reviews to make sure I don't make any mistakes if I actually live in an apartment.

I found mine on Zillow.
There are some Japanese real estate agencies, but I don't recommend them. I had a bad experience.
I looked at a lot of Google reviews too, but you never know until you actually live there. There are always people who write bad things, and on the other hand, I doubt that they write only good things. The apartment I actually live in now doesn't have good reviews but the living comfort is ok. With houses, it depends tremendously on what kind of person the owner is. If you decide on the area you want to live in and actually go around, I would recommend going directly to the places that are having open houses to see them in person because they are putting up balloons. You can see rooms that have not yet been put on Zillow, etc. Be aware that many of the buildings are old, even if they look beautiful at a glance.

If you search for San Jose apartment for rent, for example, Apartment.com, rent.com, or Trulia, you will find many sites. I found them on rent.com and Apartments.com, and tapping the "view property Website" in the middle will take you directly to the web site of the apartment.

Question. I use an EV charging app called ChargePoint. I heard that there is a ChargePoint charging station in a garage in Japantown, San Francisco, but I was wondering if anyone knows where it is located in the garage ？ I was there today and couldn't find it. I would appreciate it if you could let me know in case I have a chance to go there in the future. Thank you in advance.

I moved to the US a few months ago and am looking for a Shiatsu or acupuncture therapist to recommend.
I used to get regular massages in Japan (shiatsu and acupuncture), but I have not been able to find a good massage therapist here in the US, and would appreciate your recommendations.

If possible, it would be better if they have experience with Japanese massage.
