What is the name of your state? Florida

I am suing a person who rear ended me on my motorcycle. She had no insurance and hangs up on me when I try to call and settle. The police reports states $200 of damage because it looks like scratched paint at first but now two independent shops have estimated damage at around $4,000. My question is: Should I bring pictures to court of the damage? I think the judge might reduce the award when he sees that the damage just appears to be scratches so I don't really want to use pictures as evidence. Will two estimates be enough evidence? Thanks for any insight.

The estimates are sufficient. If the police report indicates probable liability, take that too.
