Legal Question in Traffic Law in Minnesota

Minor accident liablility limit

Recently in a parking lot I hit a patch of black ice nearing a stop and slid at approximately 1/2 mile an hour into another vehicle. I honked a warning, but to no avail. A chip in the paint of the bumper about the size of a quarter was left, but fortunately no dent. I agreed to take care of it, and gave all my information. The estimate that was given to me is for $383. When I was shocked by the amount, she threatened to have me pay for a rental car that she will need for two days. I realize I am responsible for this, but is there any limit to that? She seems to feel she has me by the neck and has been very unpleasant and threatening.

You have to pay. But I believe it would be reasonable to ask her to get another estimate.
