I am having trouble with a $35,000 claim for a car accident I caused a year ago. It was a rental car and I had property damage insurance on the main unit, but I caused the accident when I removed the liability. The other driver's car had a little dent near one door, but I don't think it would cost this much because the original car was old and beat up. However, there is a note that it includes the administration fee and defense fee.
No one was injured at the time of the accident.
I often hear about whiplash later on, but … I don't know about that fact at this point.
The other party was an elderly Korean couple.
We are still new to the US and can't hide our impatience at this sudden situation.
Please, anyone can give us some advice.
I guess we should find a lawyer first ？.

Thanks for writing. I wanted to reply, but it was like sending an email and I'm not sure how Vivinavi works, so I'll leave it here.
We did not have Liability, but had insurance on the rental car itself. The receptionist told me Liability was optional. That's not right either. This is a rental company with quite a lot of stores. We did not call Police. We had just come to the US and had an accident and were panicking.
The other driver was from Korea, but I don't know if he was in a hurry or what, but we didn't call them.
I have looked into credit card insurance and company insurance that would cover this accident, but I seem to be at a loss. We are still in the process of negotiating the amount.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
