He admitted fault on the scene. We both have Statefarm, and they are now telling me he isnt taking responsibility for it.

The Incident:As I am walking to my car to get in I see him in his car on the phone and it looked like he was looking at some paperwork. I stand next to my car for like 30 seconds waiting for him to back out so there is no chance of anything happening. He doesnt move. Then I get into my car and wait between 1 and 2 minutes and he still doesnt move. Our rear ends were facing each other with a driving lane inbetween used to get to each parking spot on either side which are diagnoly alligned. He was not directly behind me, but one spot over and across.

I finally back out, and am looking backwards the whole time while I shift into 1st from reverse and let the clutch out ever so slightly just barely moving if moving at all, but I see him flying out of his spot in my rearview/driverside mirror at a good clip as I turned my head forward. I slam on my horn, and he slams on his brakes since he hears the horn and he just barely bumps/grazes the driverside of my rear bumper taking of paint and leaving some of his own with scratches to boot.

He is an attorney and was even a commisioner in the magistrate court in Orleans parish criminal court where I work. God Only knows what he is telling the insurance company to cover his ***. What would you guys do in this situation? This is the first thing that has ever happened to me since I have been driving in the past 11 years. No tickets or accidents. I am now worried that I may get a knock against me on my perfect insurance record and also have to come out of my own pocket for the repairs on my car.

P.S. His car was so damaged and messed up from other things that he has done or had happen to his vehicle that I didnt see any damage from this particular incident. I had just detailed my car the day before and it was looking perfect up until this incident. Do you think this will help my case? Im so FN pissed at how direspectful and inconsiderate other people are. You cant trust anybody, especially an attorney.
