Default help determining cost of repair

Got backed into a few weeks ago, course I have no idea who did it
Any idea around how much this will cost me to fix? Seeing if I'm going to need to go through insurance or not.

Figure $1,000 for fender
New door $1,000
Problem is the rocker panel. Is that dinged?

Here is a crazy Idea, take it to a body shop and get a Free estimate.

There you go again. Always with the common sense stuff.

your deductible is going to be cheaper, for sure. that's going to be an expensive repair.

That sucks. I was going to say the same thing about the deductible. Damage to the door and rear quarter suck because you can't use it as an excuse to upgrade like you can on a bumper.GL
