In ny the car has to be insured so you can go after whoever owns the car and their insurance I was hit by a kid who stole his moms car and he didn’t have a license. His mom owned the car and her insurance paid for everything.
Not your fault that the driver isn’t on the policy. You can’t pick who you get into an accident with so go after the owner of the car. They are responsible for who is driving their car |

Just pay your ded and have your own ins handle it. Down the rd, you should be able get your ded portion refunded. Let's us know what occurs from this.

Wow $3-4k to repair that? Body shop labor must be cheap in SD. Here in the Bay Area, I got a small bumper tap and a BMW certified body shop estimate was $1800.

What dealer quoted for you is a complete replacement of the rear quarter panel (either new parts/ parts from junkyard). I would likely go for a complete replacement because there's no guarantee of factory like shape after a repair. Here's a YouTube video of rear quarter panel replacement: compare with a rear quarter panel repairing(Jump to 2:38):

From my own experience through Progressive it's HIGHLY unlikely you'll ever see your deductible returned and 2 years later you'll receive a letter stating "we've exhausted our efforts and closed the case." Very discouraging I know. You have 2 other options: -Suing the motorist in small claims court for your deductible has high success rate. -If you OWN your vehicle and sell it you have a high success rate in small claims court for suing him for "diminished value." If you can provide comps for what you could have sold for minus the damage you can sue him for that difference. I'm in the auto industry and have seen this pan out successfully dozens of times. Sorry for the bad luck. I hope it works out.
