no you are not legally bound to repair your vehicle, (especially as a second party or claimant)..........remember however, should you have another accident, this non repaired damage will not be fixed again......there are many ways that adjusters recognize 'prior' or pre-existing damage'.......also should your vehicle total this pre-existing damage will be deducted (or a percentage there of) from the value of your vehicle........
