Accident, whose fault?

Always, always, ALWAYS call it in the the Police. If there's not enough damage to warrent a report, at the least they'll do is an "Exchange of Information." You get the other guys stuff, the other guy get's yours, and the cop get's both. That way you have SOMETHING to go on rather than nothing.

I hope you have a witness and/or ploice report for this accident, if not the insurance company will try to screw you outa money thats rightfully yours.
Its definitly his fault, that is...if its documented that he made a moving violation which resulted in the crash, therefor he/she is liable for the damage.
also, you stated you didn't think there's enough damage to call the police and file a report.....any damage, that is visible, even a scratch must be accounted for, and I assume from reading this that, you have some damage. Even a minor dent will cost over a $100 to remove.
I had some idiot back into my other teg, and it left a dent on the rear panel between the tail lites, it was very minor, anyway I took it to the best shop in town, they charged the ins company over $400.00
so like i said, i hope you DID get a police report.

ant6177 - How is this stop configured? Is it a four-way stop? Does everyone have a stop sign? Who got there first?

So he didn't have a stop sign, did he?
I would try to work the angle that you were already in the intersection and he failed to yield the right of way. Who waved on who may be irrelevant.
Good luck man
