If I file the claim and they award me lets say $500 to repaint the bumper. Can I use that $500 and buy myself a mtech kit and have it painted??
Good luck.

The thing is, she filed the claim with HER insurance. I don't think she's filing it against me. I think that she just wants to pay her own deductible and have her insurance pay for damages.

I hate to be this cynical, but it doesn't matter. She has filed a claim and her insurance company will find out who your insurance company is. And the the fact that they want to take a statement from you is concerning. It could be a simple part of the process, or they could be looking for a mis-statement from you. Look, the earlier poster is correct, in 99% of case where you are rear-ended, it is the other drivers fault. That doesn't mean her insurance won't try to save a few dollars by shifting blame to you. Get your insurance company involved, they will work for you. If it comes down to your word versus the tactics of her insurance company lawyers, your playing a dangerous game.

I believe if the damage is more than $500 in California you must notify the Department of Motor Vehicles, report of accident, form sr1A. The form is available on line at www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/sr/sr1.pdf.
