When attempting to get reimbursed for the damaged items, you need to take the following steps:
Call your insurance company: You need to make sure you alert them to the accident and whether or not you were at fault. Many insurance companies require you to report accidents, so make sure to read the fine print.
Provide pictures: Make sure you have evidence of the damage.
Contact their insurance company: If the other driver was at fault, call their insurance company to file a claim. A claims adjuster will take over and you will be given a claim number.
Expect Cash Value: If you have damaged items and your claim is approved, you should expect cash value for the items.
