That's great for the other guy's insurance company, instead of paying for the actual damages, they will pay you $500, let you take the hit for making a claim against your own policy which will probably raise your rates, and let your insurance company pay for everything else. It's a scam and dishonest, you should go through the other driver's insurance all the way. If they still give you a hard time, call your insurance and tell them what happened.
