No, you don' t have to fix it, but should you have another accident in the same area they will deduct this payment, and should your vehicle total, then again a percentage of this unrepaired prior damage will come off the value of your vehicle. If this is first party claim, and a lien holder is on the vehicle then you may have to get their signature (and in most cases), they will require you to apply it to your loan.

What happens if you hit someone from the back your car has no damage but the other car has slight damage and the police were not called?

As the shunter, it is assumed, in normal circumstances, that you are at fault. Either offer to pay for the repair yourself, or exchange insurance details and let your companies sort it out. Sometimes it's cheaper in the long-run to pay for the damage repair and protect your insurance record. If, however, the shuntee wishes to go the insurance route, you have no choice but to agree

If a car bumps another car in the back from behind then what is the part that gets damaged called?

How hard a bump are we talking about and which car do you refer to? If it's only a slight bump then each car will probably only have damage to its bumper (fender in the US). But a harder smack may damage the radiator shell or even the radiator itself on the rear car and the boot (trunk) of the front car. A very hard smack might even damage the chassis of one or both cars.

If you hit a post in a parking lot causing slight damage to your car should you report the accident to your insurance company and make a claim?

It might be cheaper in the long run to just take care of the problem yourself. If you report the damage, the insurance company may decide to raise your rates, maybe not this time, but certainly soon. Figure out what your deductable is versus how much it will cost to repair. If you have $500.00 deductible and it will only cost $600.00 to repair, I'd forget it.
