NO! You file a police report at the scene (non-negotiable), verify the other party has insurance, take time and date stamped pictures of both cars (and the other driver if possible) and then call your insurance company. As in right after you leave the scene. Don't wait to inform them. Then get multiple bids to fix it at top shelf shops. Do not accept any money until you feel satisfied it's enough money. When the car is fixed, pick it up in broad daylight.
