Car got hit in a parking lot today, someone tried to cut the corner too close. From the outside it looks like the damage is limited to the bumper, rear quarter panel, and slightly to the tail light, not sure is there's any damage beneath the outer skin. The person stuck around and admitted fault, working with their insurance. I'm planning to file for diminished value, I know it can be a real pain but the idea that it'll help me pay off the car in some small way helps cancel out some of the disappointment.

Just wondering if any other New Yorkers have been through this and if you have any advice. I'm also curious to hear what people think is a fail diminished value for this type of damage. I know its minor as far as accidents go, but the fact that there's any accident at all on the vehicle history report hurts value.
