1. It is said that the trash can is on the roadside. If you accidentally knock it down, you will be fully responsible; and the traffic police department may eventually require you to take full responsibility for handling the accident, because the traffic police cannot find the trash can, and the determination of responsibility for the traffic accident must be signed by both parties. So, you don't care about the placer. If the traffic police insists, you ask the traffic police to find the other party. Overall, it may be more advantageous for you to take full responsibility in this accident.
2. As for how to compensate, it depends on what kind of insurance you apply for; if it is full insurance, there should be no difference (if you don’t care too much about the repair parts), that is, full compensation.
3. If you are not satisfied with the compensation, it is best not to file a lawsuit immediately. It is useful to call the provincial insurance regulatory bureau to complain. Or asking tabloid reporters to report it is also very effective.
