More details to this question:
A girl hit me on January 1, 2016. She has no insurance and got a DUI. I have asked her to sign a paper that she would pay me some of the money I lost on my car. My car was a total loss. I really do not want to get lawyers involved. Can I just have her sign a promiser letter stating she will pay $200.00 a month a total of $4,500.00.

Have it notarized, by all means. Then when she skips out, or files bankruptcy on the matter, or claims you threatened her virtue or physical well being if she did not sign, the paper you rely upon will be all that much prettier once you hire counsel to assist you, if there ramains a reason to assist you that is. Given the low amount, take the person to small claims court and have an enforceable judgment entered. However, recognize that it too can end up being rendered meaningless via a bankruptcy action.
