Thanks all for the replies.
Regarding the description of the accident, I never said I was not at fault, I just outlined what happened.
Had I kept a higher distance, I may have potentially stopped in time in front of the car the decided to turn all of the sudden, even still I came up behind him and not the other way around, so I'm at fault regardless.
Interesting note: during this incident, the collision detection didn't flash red, the emergency braking didn't pop and the ABS felt like it didn't do it's job. As i recall the feeling during braking - I was skidding. Combination of shitty circumstances.
Update so far:
I went to BMW West Island, they said they send everyone to Auto Bugatti by default.
I went to Auto Bugatti, they described the damage as fairly minor, upon further inspection it is: Headlight, Bumper, Front cross bar is bent in ~1.5inches so that'll have to be replaced.
They described themselves as a "dealer" type garage, but for body work.
Ultimately that's what I'm looking for, I'd like an as close as possible to OEM type repair.
I am with WAWANESSA, and the deductible is 1k.
The manager at Auto Bugatti said they typically never have issues with WAWANESSA and I get to pick where I want to go for repairs.
Should any issues arise, what should I expect? Negotiation with the insurance company? Other details?
Like I said, I've never been in an accident since I got my license in 2007 so I am new to this.
