Neighbor next door backed into

Me in the lot. I have several cannot-miss medical appointments, incliuding one I had to attend within minutes of her hitting me. She backed out of the space in her suv and I was stopped behind her.

There are two small dents over my back wheel. Not extensive damage. My car is ancient. I've always had a good relationship with this neighbor. Its minor, so I'm kinfda like fuck it. I did get her insurance info and DL info.

Super stressed. I have a lot going on

She gave you her Ins info, I assume while apologizing for the damage.

First get a quote for the repair. Once you get the quote, decide if you even want to get the repair. Is the damage very obvious? Will it bother me every time I get into car. Will it affect my relationship with the neighbor if I don't get it repaired? If the answer to those questions are no, then I would just move on.

If any of the answers to the questions are yes, then I would give serious consideration to getting the repair done.

Hope it all works out for you.

But denta are minor. She was calm and handed over her ins and ID and said something about not getting insurance involved to "paint it" but there are two small dents.
I don't really want ins involved either bc I sideswiped a woman in a lot last year or so.

I have forgiveness, but still
