Having a bit of regret and can use some advice from my fellow yarders. Wife and I were coming back from Providence earlier tonight and we were rear ended in Johnston RI. Back bumper has some minor dents/imprints and flexes inward much easier then normal when pressed (but not loose/hanging or anything). Otherwise it's pretty much unnoticeable.
Stupidly I didn't call the cops to have them file a report. Just took his insurance and license info and snapped a couple quick photos. Not sure why I didn't insist on having police come, just going to chalk it up to being flustered and lesson learned for the future.
Here's where I'm hoping for some advice...
I called the police station tonight and I know I can drive back to Johnston RI tomorrow and file a walk in report but I'm not sure if it's worth it really (I'm in Farmington)?
Should I just call his insurance and get a claims adjustor to come out and write it up without a police report?
Should I bring my car to a shop and just get a quote and try letting him pay outside of insurance? Feels like this one is a stupid question, but not sure if it makes more sense considering I don't have a police report?
Had a good run and it's my first time being in an accident in 20 the last years.
