Rear-ended Question; what to do next?
hey all, first accident for me: i was rear ended when i stopped at a red light.
auto shop quote : 900 dollars.
the thing is my car is on lease so i'm planning on going to their auto shop to get another estimate.
i also have minor back pain in result of this, and planning on making an appointment with the doctor.
i've also made a report to the self-report auto collision centre.
i have all their information, what is the procedure once i get an estimate?
the other person says he will see the quote first before deciding to handle through insurance.
do i have to contact my insurance at all? i know people do light damages without insurance, does that mean they don't contact insurance at all? (i've read that you're suppose to report any damages to car immediately)
any feedback on people who've been over this? sorry if these are basic common sense information, but i'm a recent driver so i'd like to know how people handle these incidents.
thank you!
