I was in the Target parking lot the other day loading up my trunk, and the car that pulled up beside me flung open the door, and it dinged my door. The dent isn’t huge, but it’s more than noticeable. I didn’t say anything then, but now I have a $500 car repair bill. What should I do if this happens again?
