Answer
Sam,


  So relax!  If you had insurance, you can let them take care of it.  Your insurance company is required to tell you if the other person is claiming that they have more damages than your policy can provide.  It is very rare for any minor accident to result in large injury settlements.  I'm sure this is going to be the case in your scenario.

  Bottom line, make sure you get the name, address, and telephone number of the adjuster that is handling the claim (at your insurance company), and then do nothing else except call the adjuster if you get any notice of any kind about the accident. Simple enough?

I hope this helps!
