Minor accident last night: typical Berkeley driver turns right without signaling, or even looking. Hit the left side of my bike, and I went over the bars and landed on my right side. Just a couple of scrapes, nothing too serious. He apologized and gave me his contact and insurance info.

So, my question is, what's the best way to collect on the damages? I could a) call the driver or b) go directly to his insurance company (AAA - which I hear is kind of a PITA). What have you done in similar circumstances?

FWIW, I'm estimating the damages at less than $200. My helmet may have hit the ground, so I should probably replace it to be safe ($100). Rear wheel was knocked out of true ($15), and the bar tape is a little torn ($25). Once I get the wheel back from the shop later today, I'll see if there's any other mechanical trouble. Probably should have the frame checked for cracks, too.

Anything else I should consider? TIA for your advice.
