I got into a small fender/bender accident. is it wise for me to settle from out of pocket if it is less than my deductible?
Yes, you should get a release and have the other driver sign it before you pay him or her.

Tell your insurance co. ASAP.
You can sue, but if your injuries are very minor, it's probably not worth it.
If you and/or the salon you work for have insurance, they should resolve this for you.
You insurer should cover your costs of defense and paying any settlement. This may cause your rates to rise if you're found to be at fault.
This calls for a lawyer all day, every day. Be smart.
