first time accident

I have a perfect driving record, and got into my first accident. It was a small fender bender where the driver in front of me slammed on their brakes and i hit them. Minimal damage on both sides but I know i’ll automatically be found at fault. My question is, do i get notified if the other driver submits a claim? I’d rather not claim this but obviously, if the other driver does then I do as well. Am i obligated to submit a claim? What is the best advice here?
