I live in California and I've been having issues with my neighbor dinging the door of my new car. The apartment complex I live in has assigned parking and she is the only one who parks to my right and we are all required to carry insurance in order to park inside. There are now 6 sizeable dents on my door and 3-4 paint chips. This occurred over the last 5 months. I have already confronted them twice about it by putting a note on my car but the response I got was she isn't doing it and that I'm threatening her with my note and that since the first time I talked to her she been noticing new scratches on her car. Now since she is refusing to admit it and refuses to be more careful. I have filed a claim before back in January when there were only two dents but since i had no evidence there wasn't much they could do so I closed the claim. I then hooked up a camera inside my car pointing out my rear passenger side door. After a week of me reviewing the footage every day, one day her daughter opened their door and literally pushed it up against my door and you can see the door stop and a thunk sound then the door rebounds the other way after she lets go of it. Should I take the video to my insurance company and file a claim right away and try to get their insurance to pay for all the dents and damages they have caused over the few months. Or should i wait and get a few more clips showing that they hit my door numerous times and all the prior damage is caused by them. Also, should I be concerned about using this footage since I had to record sound in order for the thunk to be heard from her door colliding my panel? Will one evidence clip be enough to try to get their insurance to fix all 6 dents on my door?
TLDR. My neighbor dings my door refuses to admit it. I hook up a camera and have footage of her daughter hitting my door. Will one clip be enough to claim the other 6 dents on my door? Will recording audio to hear for the thunk be an issue?
