A long time ago ... in a Taco Bell parking lot far, far away. I was sitting in my car and a passenger from car next to me wacked my car with her door. It was a mistake kind of as the hinge detents popped the door open further than she expected. It was probably one of the first times she was in the car.
I approached the owner and the passenger and finally after a few minutes got her to admit the damage. She said, "No worries, my brother has a body shop. He'll fix it for you." I said, "I'll have my insurance agent just call you." I let the insurance agent take care of it.
If you can get them to admit it you can get them to pay for it. If not, take pictures and take them to court. Make sure you get their license plate before they leave. In my case, if they won't agree to pay on the spot and give me their phone number generally it's not worth my time and I just pay to have the dent removed. Make sure to still take a picture of the car and the plate of the car that caused the damage.
