Someone hit my car

Update: Got a hold of the insurance company and got the estimate for the damage to my car. ~$2,600, I was thinking that that was a pretty hefty amount and then went to get an appraisal from an auto body shop that I have been to in the past. One shop quoted me $2,450 and another at $1,900. Supposedly because of my bumper tabs being broken "by law" they need to replace my front bumper. I told the shop that I'm not getting a new bumper and to repair NOT replace it. I think that this is why I was saved some money but regardless the "extra" money went towards some new aero jacket fenders so I still break about even.
