Q: Scenario:
I met up in an accident some time ago. The back bumper and other parts were damaged. I then met up in a second accident and, the car was damaged at the same place before I got it fixed. The person with the second accident has insurance.

Will it be permissible for me not to tell them and claim the entire amount from them?
