I bought my car last Saturday. 2014, no accidents reported. This Saturday, I was in a parking lot and a woman backed into me. I had pulled out of my space, started driving forward when I noticed a car to my left look like it was about to quickly pull out. I stopped and waited a moment. Then out of the corner of my eye, I see the car directly to my right begins pulling out. I lay on my horn, but they don't stop until they hit me. I barely felt the collision, but it dented right above my wheel and looks to have cracked the underside. My grandmother was in the car, she mostly spoke to them, I was too upset.
I know better. I know I should've taken pictures before moving my car, I know I maybe should've called the police, but it seemed so minimal. There was another woman who tried to say she saw the whole thing and it was my fault. I don't see how it could've since she backed right into me.
I reported it to both insurance companies. Now I'm just worried because I don't remember the other driver ever accepting fault. There was no damage to her vehicle at all. I'm also concerned that when my fender's dent is popped out and maybe repainted, that it's going to cause depreciation after ONE week of owning it. I think making a diminished value claim is wishful thinking, though.
Can anyone ease my troubled mind or should I really be concerned about this?
