I offered to pay out of my pocket but the female driver eventually chose to go through insurance.
I think it is better off letting the insurance handle it.
Same here, at a stop sign, guy in front of me starts to move, I look left thinking the guy in front of me wasn't there any more than smack into his bumper.
I offered to pay out of my pocket, which he was fine with, so a day passes, I call, he assures me that he'll contact me after he gets his car checked out at the shop... then the next day I get a call from my insurance telling me that the guy filed a medical claim saying he got injured. Luckily though for me, and thanks in part to the guy's stupidity, he told me that he was involved in a the same type of accident the same day in the morning, and showed me the damage to his front bumper, so I notify my insurance about his earlier incident, and I never hear a thing about the medical claim again.
