A South Carolina attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. This might be a tough one because it looks like things were more or less done over a handshake, and repairs seem to have been done outside a shop. Ordinarily when insurance carriers process these PD claims, they send an adjuster out and a shop prepares an estimate, and there could be a release used at the end seal up all loose ends. If those formalities were not applied, this could be a situation where it's one person's word against another's. Good luck
