Got bumped in the parking lot... Suggestions?

So tonight, I was sitting in my car in the parking lot with the car in park, when all of a sudden my car jerked forward and I look back to see a big SUV in reverse in my rear view mirror. The person in the SUV ended up bumping the rear end of my car. I looked at it and there is no big dent or anything, but can't really tell perfectly since it was dark out and my car is black. However, from what I could see, there are abrasions on my bumper. I'm going to bring it in to make sure everything is ok. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I should tell them to check? Like making sure my suspension is ok considering my car was in park and got bumped forward? Thanks in advance.

Did you get insurance info from the other person? If so, report to insurance first then I would suggest take your car to dealer and have them inspect and possibly give you a quote on repair if any is needed

Yes I did. I'll be taking the car to the dealer today to get it looked at. Hoping its only cosmetic damage.

Nope haha. I believe the other driver's car even had a back up camera... Mustve not been looking at it!
