Im surprised that there is no mention of a personal injury claim against the lad who backed into the op.
But that would be illegal if there are no injurys, plus the op is probably happy there are no injurys.
Though if it was me i would claim off the other guys insurance for everything i could like , new bumper, number plate, lights/grill/bonnet if they were damaged, clips/mounts get broken very easily, car hire for the time yours is in the garage, doctors checkup, (make sure everything is ok)
If someone tried to do that to me id push to make sure he lost his no claims and might make him think twice about trying it again

Which is no better than what the fella that reversed into the OP did, stupid claims like this that are un-needed and essentially money grabbing are what drives up our insurance premiums.
