Probably what you meant to say on your first post is that the other driver was going 40 mph "initially". By the time he made contact with you I'm sure he slowed down at least a little bit. If he truly hit at a full 40 mph you would have had frame damage and the bill would have been much higher. Just like the lady that smacked into me applied her brakes but still could not stop her rickety Ford Escort from plowing into me. She was probably going 50 mph initially, and 20 mph by the time she made contact.

As far as babysitting the repair, that's absolutely not necessary. You take care of your own work, and Matt will take care of his.
