Yeah the damage doesn't look too bad and there's a good possibility that no real damage was done. I was at a party at my friends house. The car was parked on the street, so I was not in my car. I have a blackvue dashcam which records the entire time even if i'm not in the card. The hit wasn't even strong enough to trigger an event recording, and frankly the other person had the decency to call, there's already a police report filed and they got all the information, phone number, license, insurance policy. The police said it was definitely his fault.
Thanks DrExplode, I'll definitely check out that body shop on Monday.
Looking at the Michigan Laws. I saw this:
"Your no-fault insurance DOES NOT pay for repairs to your car if it is damaged in an
accident. If your car is properly parked and hit
by another car, the other driver’s no-fault
coverage will pay for the damage to your car.
Except for this one situation, the only kinds of
auto insurance that will pay for repairs to your
car are collision and comprehensive coverage."
So according to this his insurance would have to pay for my damages.
Unfortunately it looks like it will inevitably go on the carfax report . All I can do now is file a claim and see if I can make a diminished value car insurance claim. I'm gonna give the police a call to see how to proceed.
