hey all,
i recently was in an accident where the car in front of me backed their car into me at a red light, it was at low speed but i had a passenger in my vehicle, and they were holding a sharp object in their hand. whether it was the force of the impact or them being startled they scratched the seat of the interior with the object.
this was not initially reported to the insurance adjuster as i hadn’t noticed it initially. it’s now at the repair shop and i’m wondering if it’s something i can bring up after the fact or if they will think it’s false/possibly even fraudulent. we did try and patch up the scratch ourselves since then and it has been several days now.
i’ve never really been in an accident before so im not sure how this all works. thank you in advance!
Is this going to be investigated?

*Investigated*, probably not. If anything, the adjuster will deny that part because it’s such an oddball thing to bring up well after the collision and is probably impossible to prove it’s related given you tried to repair it yourself.
