I don;t know if your insurance allows you access to a claims specialist, but a member of my family told me ( insurance agent) when this happens they usually send someone out to look at the damage and they can tell who was at fault based on the damage.

Basically they should be able to tell they are lying by the paint transfer and scratching.

I am actually going to call my insurance today, not my agent, and ask them a general question about it. Like if they actually look at the pictures and break it down or perhaps have someone to look at the damages in person. I really do feel as though not much has been done to determine fault. I mean if the position I am in now was ultimately how it was going to be in the first place, then insurance would be pointless, claim pointless. Crash and go.

Its your word against the old man's, unless there is a witness.

You can leave a message for the cop and see if he responds.

You can pursue and Judge can issue a subpena for the video evidence (assuming it captured something and the tape is available).

Your insurance sends a 'they mean business' letter demanding damages to be paid or they will pursue through court system and get video evidence.

Karma has ways to catch up.
