Legal Question in Personal Injury in Louisiana
What to do when you drive off accidentally forgetting to take gas pump off and the hose detaches?
I was with my friend and he was the driver.
He pulled in this gas station to pump gas into his car, went inside to buy me a smart water ,and ran into a friend of his on his way back into the car forgetting that the gas pump was still in ,and he drove off and it pulled the gas hose off , but looks as though it can be reattached.
The hose is not damaged , but we don't know because it hasn't been reattached.
I took pictures , and videos of the incident , but the gas station asked for his auto insurance identification telling him they are going to bill him $500 on his CAR INSURANCE , and it wasn't a car accident it was just a gas pump blind moment accident no joke..
The manager wasn't even their at the gas station to wait for to see if the pump could be fix another thing is the worker writing this up didn't give the corporation telephone number she gave the local phone number, but did write the station id down , but we don't even know its real.
The staff at the gas station didn't know what a corporation number was or the gas stations id number was!
At least another worker gave information,but I don't think it is true.
What do I do I need legal advice and my friend has been in panic because it was just a small blind accident not a car accident.

It sounds like a covered auto accident to me. They have every right to make a claim against his insurance. Besides, that is why he has insurance. Let the insurance company deal with it.
