[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The other driver finally called the insurance and they accepted liability. I am scheduled to get estimate this upcoming week with my dealer and they have arranged for car rental as well. I am in Virginia BTW.

Thank you everyone for your replies. Like I said I’ve never been in this situation and didn’t think to call 911 because it wasn’t an emergency. Lesson learned - always call police. I had gotten conflicting advice regarding who to contact first. I did first contact my insurance to let them know. I was then told by someone to not call them and just go straight to the other guy’s insurance. When I told my insurance rep about this she said I could and should and If they don’t accept claim to call them back and they can reopen claim.  I thought that by going through my insurance they would front the costs of repair, charge me deductible, and then go after the guy. If they didn’t recoup costs then I wouldn’t get deductible back and it would be a ding on my record. [/quote]

Glad to hear that the other motorist is in touch w/his insurance company!
I may be mistaken but the fact that he apologized to you for the accident shows that he is admitting fault.

I live in S.CA (where we are currently on flood watch, but that is another topic!)
We are only to contact the police if someone involved in an auto collision/accident was physically hurt & needed to go to a hospital immediately.
Not sure what state you are located in.

And yes, I would let your insurance co.# contact the other driver’s for sure.

They likely will phone you to get your side of the story….they may even request you submit photos, etc. to them.
I strongly advise you NOT to take their phone calls because they need to talk to your insurance directly.

Good luck.[/quote]
