should actually take them to small claims court

let the insurers take him to court. was in a similar accident, asked the guilty party if he had insurance he said no, told him "good, i am fixing through insurance, they might take care of you then", of which they did.

Insurance might just write the car off for that damage. Small claims court is best.

Insurance will always claim (or attempt to) if they can. But realistically they're not going to attach assets for this level of damage (they might not even bother).

In a larger claim they'll try to attach assets but given how poor the vast majority of South Africans are (especially those without even insurance...) the reality is your insurance will eat the hit.

Karma/life/God/god will teach you a hard lesson...agree with you, sometimes it just isnt worth lowering yourself to the levels that some of these cucumbers/blobs operate at

Never argue with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

That damage almost doenst look bad enough to warrant such a big repair job...maybe another PDR opinion and some touchup paint and send it?

I have contacted another PDR guy thanks to Fellow Fanatic sharing contact. Will come out to see it and advise
