well add a +1
I just got broadsided by a valet driver last night as well.... same EXACT damage.
any advice from going through that endear?? because its a four party claim (myself, the valet driver, the valet company's insurance and the owner of the other car).
I'm just sick to death over it, my first new car in over a decade.

my guess is the sensor didn't detect enough deceleration or since the point of impact was isolated the sensor decided not to deploy the curtain airbags
My brand new 2010 fit, less than 3000 miles got 4400.00 worth of damage by some ghetto thug valet driver. We were stuck in a traffic jam going out the garage. While waiting for the cars in front me to move, we saw the valet driver grab the keys and ran to the parked car, get in and backed up to about 30 mph crashing into my door.
my car is out for 2 weeks( body shop estimate repair time). The valet company is paying for everything from the tow, rental car and damage. The door needs to be replaced, window motor, rocker panel, trim, apillar, door latch etc.

I hate to see that, really stinks. I got rear ended last Friday, turned into a hit and run, fortunately it really didn't do much but scratch the bumper in a couple small places. It still made me mad, then later on sad since I had the car for 1 month and 2 days and had right at 700 miles on it. :-(
Anyway I hope they get it back to good as new for you, although it'll never be the same because you'll never forget it.
