company. Since you are at fault, part of their job will be to negotiate with the other party. They may be able to come to an agreement.
The other driver may not want to go through insurance due to a possible increase in their rates. However, you’ll still want to report the accident to your insurance. If they refuse to settle, you may need to hire a lawyer.
