1) have my insurance company fix the damage and i pay the deductible of 500 but the damage is only about 690. so basically they told me that they will not go after the other insurance company but my company will not pursue his insurance company because the amount is too small.

2) take it to the small court but he will be represented by a lawyer provided by his insurance company.

both options are not in favor of me. i am looking for pro bono lawyers but i wonder if they'll take the case for such small amount. 

so it looks like anyone can rear end your car and get away by saying you cut in front of him. sucks... what can i do ?
