Since you are in Cali, a person who backs into you is always at fault. However, the thing that will complicate this a lot is the fact that the U-haul truck is not going to be under his normal insurance plan. Therefore, I doubt his insurance company will be covering anything. You can go through your insurance and will likely loose your deductible, but will not experience an increase in your rates as it was not your fault.

By the way, the dealer is not always the best place to get repair work like this done. Do some research to find the best body shops in your area as they often work quicker and provide a higher quality of service and body work.
