Default accident question...possible hit an run

okay, so my sister in law uses my car right now to get to and from work.(whole different story) i got home last night to see the car has a dent in fhe front fender a few scratches allong the side and a few minor dents along the way......i am pist at this point. I walked into my house and asked her about it (crash on passanger side) she knows nothing and acted supprised when i showed her what had happened.( i really don't belive her) so my question is do i call my insurance company about this or not. if she hit someone and left i could be responsible for a hit and run. but if she really didnt and someone hit her i can get my car fixed......just don't know what to do about this.

i wouldn't bother insurance, no matter what you do with the insurance company yours goes up in price, just have her pay for the damage, the car was in her hands while it got damaged.

Never let her touch your car again. Don't even let her ask.

Take the fender off. See if you can press it out. Open the door, take the panel off, and see if you can press it out from the inside if that's where some of them are.

Pics, too.

Basically the only dent is the fender that i can see. the rest is mainly scratch x or whatever that crap is called.

dito looks very minor. just that fender and you might be able to take out the inner splash gaurd and push it out by hand with it on the car still. or maybe even just open the door.
as long as its not cracked the paint with a harsh bend then it should be able to be popped back out easy enough!
