Former employer hits my car

california

My former employer hit my car the week before he laid me off. Im paranoid about him denying me unemployment benefits if I either give him the body shop cost estimate which is quite huge or call my insurance. if I wait until I get my benefits first which is in a month max, is that still fine to call insurance after that long? Thanks for all your answers.

HE does not decide whether you get unemployment. Go through your insurance and let them deal with getting the money back from his insurance.

LOL it would make a good argument for an unemployment claim denial.
