Have not had to file any type of insurance claim for 8 years, so I'm not sure what to do.
Was in a minor two car accident. I was stopped in traffic, car behind me ran into my car. Moved out of traffic, exchanged info, police said no report was required, cars were drivable.
Other insurance company has accepted liability. They, Allstate, had me upload pics of the damage, and gave an AI generated repair estimate of about $800. Took the car to a local, reputable body shop. They did a hands on, eyeball estimate, $2500. Local shop says the bumper needs replacing because it is creased, which can be felt, but is hard to photograph. Allstate just wants to remove and repair the bumper cover. I've sent better photos, have emailed, but they are not offering to pay more.
What's the advice on how to proceed?
