The less than $200 charge was a criminal matter, which does not always equate to a civil case. That said, you have every right to make this guy prove his case, including all alleged damages, so that he can only claim his actual incurred damages and not a lot of exaggerated figures. If you had auto insurance at the time, you need to let them handle it for you. Otherwise, you can decide to settle with him or not. If not, the worst thing that happens is he files a lawsuit, in which case he will have to prove his damages to the court.
