If it was a direct bumper hit, check the cover itself obviously, then the bumper alignment. If the bumper is sitting at proper alignment, the bumper shocks should be fine.

Next step, open both back doors and make sure they both close the same way again. Check gaps, wheel well shape and C-pillar where it meets the trunk.

Then pull back the carpet in the trunk and see if either of the frame rails are bent.

If you are not in a no-fault state, a body shop inspection should be covered by the other person's insurance anyway. I'd let a shop handle it especially with a rear end collision. It can hide more damage than a front end collision, since there are many more reference points (easy reference points) in the front of the car.

I used to work in a body shop, which is why this is fairly second nature.
