Someone hit my car

First from what I see in your picture all of the metal damage can be repaired including highlight lines and "hard" edges. If someones says it can't be repaired find another PDR tech.
What I cannot tell from the picture is paint condition.
I can't tell if the whiteish color is paint from the car that hit you or if it is primer under your paint.
Have a PDR tech. look it over.
A good PDR tech. will tell you how far he can bring it back including paint condition.
If he can't tell you that find one that can.

I don't agree on that, because there is a big risk that you loose the metal integrity, because the metal was overstretched at the "cuts". That can cause a wobbling surface. It might be possible to get a good result from 10 feet away, but you'll never get a perfect result and perfect metal integrity / strength. Also the paint is damaged for shure. So at least a sport repair paint job will be needed. Because the color is silver, that's not easy to do too.

So to me this doesn't look iike a PDR / spot repair job.

But show it to some PDR techs.

Most all quarter panels are double wall'd, making it almost impossible for PDR.

Too bad you don't carry FULL insurance coverage. I hate to tell you but your out of pocket repair cost will probably be close to what 5 years of FULL insurance coverage would have cost you.

Sorry...but stuff happens. After it's all sorted out, you might want to consider more insurance coverage going forward.

Yes if the damaged area is double walled then that is a different kettle of fish.
