Someone backed into me in my work lot while I was in the car.

This is why anytime someone hits you call the poilce and dont move the cars. They will come out and write up a report and it will say in it

Actually, in many jurisdictions this is completely wrong.

1) In many areas, the police will not even come out for a simple fender bender in a parking lot.

2) If the police do come out, in many areas if the officer decides there's less than $1,000 damage to each party, they will not take a report.

3) Police officers generally do not determine who was at fault.

4) If you're in a minor accident and your car is operable, GET IT OUT OF THE ROADWAY. And if it is not operable, GET YOURSELF OUT OF THE ROADWAY if you can safely do so. My father-in-law was killed because he was in a minor accident, stayed in his car that was disabled in the roadway, and someone else (who was drunk) plowed into the back of his car (even though there were even flares set up).

Sorry about your father in-law. I just got into an accident lat week, and it was a simple fender bender, police came out, filed a report, and put in the report that it was his fault. And I know its probably less than 1000 dollars.

I work with attorneys and police literally side by side all day long. Thwy will not come out to a private parking lot unless there is serious bodily injury in my state at least.
