Could I have possibly scratched someone else's car?

When you knew that you “accidentally came in contact with the car at (your) right,” you should have immediately pulled forward and examined both your car and the other car.

“I only noticed a little brief contact, so I didn’t think much.”

That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. You knew you had touched the car with yours in trying to navigate the tight space. The right thing to do would have been to check it out right then and there, not just go about your merry way.

I don’t know what there is to be done now, after the fact. But next time, don’t just blow it off. Check it out, and if you have in fact damaged another car, you need to leave a note with your contact information on it, and when contacted, make arrangements to pay for the damage. And always, always take a photo of the damage (or lack of damage as the case may be). This is for your protection against false claims.
