You want that for evidence, Yes.
(Mainly to have them documented so in case their insurance move/tow your vehicle somewhere else where you will no longer have easy access.)
And, if you ever feel powerless when dealing with their adjuster then it's time to lawyer up.
In fact, we had to in a very similar situation, LINK

At least a cop was willing to come out for the report. My mom got rear ended in her suv and the cop goes "if nobody is hurt you dont need me there" which is when she demanded a police officer to ensure the guys insurance license etc checked out. The guy picked up a portion of her bumper and put it in his prius ato try and play off hercar had no damage

We were both very lucky to have survived that. Thank God. -Considering immediately after the hit, we were pushed across another 4 lanes of moving traffic (that were all traveling at highway speeds also & No one else hit us.)
Make sure you take a lot of photos of the location AND road conditions, ie: the intersection, any skid marks, street lights/signs, etc. (just to have a clear & detail picture of the area.)

I was able to look under the rear end today. Doesn't appear to be a lot of damage(from what I could see) underneath. I don't think it'll be totaled but I have very little experience in how much these repairs like this cost. Cant open the hood. Looks like it's popped but if you try to pop it, it does nothing. I'm not going to try to open the hatch because I am certain it will not close back!

She's doing well. She was sore for a few days. Found out the driver at fault has Safe Auto Insurance. That didn't thrill me because I assume they have bare minimum coverage. Body shop said they're a pain to deal with as well. Thanks for asking. I'll definitely keep this updated as everything plays out.

Very nice.
Need to post the "after" pix!
IS that so...?
>> Translation: What they really mean - They didn't like the "costs" the Mitsu dealer was charging them verses what they are use to paying (at an off-brand supplier) or can get at a scrap yard...
Hopefully you and the wife are pleased with the repairs..
Welcome back to the clan.
Happy New Year!

Funny. Either it was Butter fingers (at the keyboard) or no one cared to check the part that's being sent out (4X), aye.
Well.. At least you weren't in the hospital awaiting a kidney transplant with these dealer folks as your doctor!
> Ooops, we ordered and sewed in the wrong organ!
