So I was rear-ended....

Haha. He was trying to play it off all cool. I would have probably done the same. On another note glad nobody was hurt and hope you get what you deserve out of it.

 

Take it to a shop for sure. Here is a general post accident vehicle inspection process. Energy transfers all the way through a vehicle. That's especially important to know with cars since the energy spreads through those things from the point of impact in the shape of a cone around the passenger compartment. Obviously, look for anything bent. Get underneath and look everywhere at bolts and fasteners for evidence they have shifted and at spot welds to see if they have shifted/broken. Look for misaligned body panels. Lift carpets and etc to look for shifted/broken spot welds. Things will move or break in surprising locations.
