Here is the deal, you have the other parties insurance info - call them and start a claim on his policy and explain what happen ect. ect. they will call him and get his side of the story/accident. 9/10 times this is not a big deal, not everyone out there is an asshole. If it was me, i would try and not get my own insurance involved unless it came down to it. but thats just me. Let me know what insurance company he has and if you want i would be glad to help you. As far as the parts on the car - they owe you for what you have. Not a big deal to get the same parts replaced. You just need to provide the info of where you got them and brand and whatever else. MN law states that insurance companies can not use non - oem( i dont mean a/m perf. parts but orig. body parts) parts on your car without your consent, if they do this then they are breaking the law.

Many insurance companies like to send out appraisers to look at your vehicle first which is fine, they will cut you a check most likely and then you can bring it wherever you want. If the bill is more at the shop they can supplement the insurance company for additional costs if deemed related. More often than not accidents are really not that big of a deal in the end.

Also when that insurance company takes responsibility for the damages, they will cover the cost of a rental vehicle while it is in for repairs.

I am an estimator for a body shop and if you need any help with this i would be glad to give you a hand.
