I've been 'stiffed' with a body shop bill before because of something like this. Was there a police report? Did you report the accident to your insurance? Is there any way to PROVE this young man hit your car (aside from the damage)? Witnesses?

Again, just concerned you are going to get stuck with the repair bill... Good luck!
Those are good questions. I called in the NJ State Troopers when it happened and he filled out a report. The Trooper said it was ok to not report it to the insurance companies and let this guy pay for it but anytime I was dissatisfied I could then report it. He also gave me his name in case I needed anything. It may have helped that I have my Eagle/Globe/Anchor emblem on the glove box. There is alot of the brotherhood out there.
