What I am supposed to do from this point? Some guy driving a Toyota hit my car when I was getting out of a parking spot at a restaurant. We swapped insurance information, and I did not feel the need to call cops because we could both drive away. The damage to my car, which was to the back side, will cost about $900 or so to fix. The accident forms from the insurance that I need to fill out and send back, but the driver is from out of state.
The other driver's being from out-of-state should make little or no difference. Get the proof of damage and send it to his insurer. Keep copies, of course.
Write the party that caused the accident advising of the damages and if he does not pay, you could notify his/her insurance and if they do not pay, you could even file for damages in small claims court since the damages are a fairly small amount.
First, you should call you local insurance agent for help. They should be able to handle the claim, or guide you. Make sure that they agree not to increase your rates since it was not your fault.
