<prompt> Human: So I got rear ended while stopped at a red light. This is the first time I have had any kind of accident. I only had a puncture on my bumper from the license plate screws of the driver. He has pretty much no damage. Everyone is fine. It was quite a hit because my car got pushed forward quite a bit. I did not call any cops since we were in the middle of a busy intersection, the damage wasnt huge, and the driver was old. We simply exchanged info and left. My friends advise to just live with the small damage and not report it since this will add an accident on my car and diminish its value. It is a 2012 Camry that I have had for only a year now. If I decide not to report it or file a claim, what will happen if the other driver does? What should I do?  <response>: Cars are designed to absorb an impact, protecting the passengers. The Camry has a plastic bumper so you likely dont see the real damage. Check the spare tire section, I bet its dented.As far as what _should you do_? You should report the accident and have your car repaired. Accidents happen; thats why you have insurance and so does the other driver.
