Sorry to see what happened, not many people have enough integrity to pay for their mistake and you are left with the $ problem. My wife and I always park our new cars as far away as possible from parking lot active areas to avoid damage.
Did your flexible bumper retain its rounded shape in that area?
You can try a body shop to see how much the repair would cost, find out if they recommend replacing the bumper (if it didn't retain its shape they might recommend filling it or replacing it), a trained eye and a sharp pen might get the estimate past the deductible. Please note that flexible bumpers require paint with a flex additive and clear etc.....
If you decide to live with it some cleaner wax will get the other vehicles paint out of the abrasion area, however from the looks of the picture there are some dark areas that require touch up with a fine paint brush.
