Why not in full? Have you had the damage repaired for a different amount or are you suing based on a repair estimate which was higher than you were paid? How much?

Why? What difference do you think it would make? You already have enough evidence of fault.

So? Go view it. And when you have it in your hand take out your camera phone and take a picture. If anybody gripes you've already got the photo.

He's probably right. It has nothing to do with your lawsuit.
