F32 bumper change/insurance

Hello guys!
I had a car accident while I was driving in my apartment community.
I turned a corner and a truck also turned a corner like 15-20mph from the opposite side and hit my bumper. His truck looks totally fine no scratch(?) no damage at all, but my front left bumper got cracks and paint is little off and my left headlight got scratches.
I'm trying to get a new front bumper because it has cracks and little bit broken...
I wanted to fix my bumper through my insurance...
Do this accident and changing bumper will be on my record if I want to sell my car later?

If Insurance claim, yes.

Can't believe this is actually a question. That said...

If you do get it fixed through insurance take before photos to document damage so that later you have proof that it wasn't something serious. I had a bumper repainted due to a shopping cart scratch and I had the photos along with the paperwork from the grocery store reimbursing me as proof of a minor cosmetic thing vs real accident.
