Default a dent on the fender

someone hit mt passenser's side fender right above the front tire made it a little damage on it about 1-1.5 inch diameter. technician came to see, get it done but since the part hit was so rigid it cant be smoothed out.
so i think i need to take it to the shop to fix it any good ones to go?
i already got the cash 100bux for that from the person. u think i need to return that money to him and get it fixed up with his insurance? do i need to talk to him or just call the insurance company directly without dealing with him?wonder what to do cuz its first time getting into an incedent.

Yes, go through insurance. It is his fault AND a good body shop will blend the paint into the surrounding panels. May more than a $100.

but the problem is that the person's insurance would not cover my damage cuz what happened was, actually the person is his wife, she pulled up the shopping carter beside my car and it rolled down the ground, hit the fender. Now at this point, he said that he would not get the money back from me that i recieved from him last night, and got no resoponsibility about that matter. fxxkin weird mother Fxxker. u gotta be prepared for ur lawyer and i will talk to my lawyer tommorrow to see what 's gonna happen i said. then here's the weirdest thing, he said right away " frankly i didnt see if my wife hit ur car, and i didnt see either. i dont know who ur." i was in the car and my g/f saw that shit exactly.
his wife cut on the line and said i didnt do that. WTF?????????????????????
that gentleman;s name is Steve Dorfman and u guys should be careful with those cheap person having no idea what's right or wrong, lacking in moral values. and be careful Corolla drivers. Drive that corolla forever and ever til u die.

I would think that the $100 or so that you have is an admission of guilt, but I'm no lawyer....

small claims court?

Actually, I'd call the police and get then to make a report. Explain the situation and if they are willing to make the report, then just file claim with your own insurance. This is a comprehensive claim and will not affect your premium. That way the insurance company can go after the perpetrator.

$100 won't come close to covering the repair unless they can do it with one of those paintless dent removal techniques...
