Happened as I was exiting an empty parking lot and a minivan was entering and turned into me, hitting my rear driver's side door. The guy admitted it was his fault and he would pay for the damages. I got his name, business card, driver's license #, and license plate. He then said it is my choice whether to report it and claim it through my insurance. I said we can resolve this without involving them. No cops were involved. I told him I will draft a brief letter (indicating that he will be willing to pay for the damages) and have him sign i tomorrow. He was ok with that, and we went off on our merry ways. He seemed genuine to me, but of course, that means nothing. So my questions are:
1 - did I do the enough in this situation?
2 - Should I report the accident to the Collision Reporting Centre?
3 - If I do report it, are they going to contact my insurance co.?
4 - Any other advice you can give me?
