Best of Luck

Same exact thing happened to my sister. Teenage girl rear-ended her and gave false information, but luckily we had enough information and a pretty badass cop to track her down.

I don't trust anyone enough to let them pay out of pocket. Even if it's a small scuff... unless you're going to give me more than sufficient cash on the spot we are going through insurance!

go through insurance for sure. It's also best to get the cops on the scene anytime you are in an accident so that they can have a record of everything/everyones info. I got hit by someone about a year ago and it was 100% their fault, went through insurance of course and everything was taken care of. Only thing I didn't do which I should of was called the police right then and there..It kinda held things up for me for a while but everything was taken care of in the end.

Don't see any mention of a police report? Establishing facts is important after an accident, and there will be no reason for them to admit guilt without an impartial third party holding them accountable. This alone puts you at risk. The way your damage looks, they can even come back and say you cut into her lane and caused the accident.

Go through insurance. Period.

IF IF IF you must accept funds privately, make sure the repair quote is final, and that you are with a reputable shop, and that it's certified funds (cashier check). Do not accept personal check. If cash, well, make sure they aren't fake bills. At the money exchange, tie up loose end with signed documents detailing the accident and what the money is for.
