A: In terms of the car, if there were no injuries, it would be handled as a property damage claim. How that is handled could depend on available insurance coverage. If there is coverage under your policy, it could be handled by your carrier. If not, it could be handled through the insurance carrier of the other vehicle. A state or region is not indicated here, but you could discuss with an attorney in the state where this occurred to determine the best course of action, based on the level of damages, scope of your policy, deductibles, and other factors. Good luck
