Where the hell do you live. A police cant tell you that you cant file a police report. If someone drops a tea cup on my toe, im filing a police report. Just get the police report!
If you want the poor kid to suffer, and you might suffer awell do the insurance claim. I wouldnt. 1000 dollars is not enough damage that a person driving a hummer cant fix themselves.
Now if your driving a kia, then maybe
What ever the damage, lets say he gives you 500-700 dollars, even tho its annoying you can cover the rest out of pocket.
GUYS U DRIVE A HUMMER, $1500 is chump change...its like a hummer tire.
