"Secondary" insurance will cover the deductible -- if any -- on your personal auto-insurance policy for this claim. So yes, you will have to file a claim with your personal auto-insurance carrier, but you aren't "screwed" -- unless the Amex coverage does not apply to the particular Mercedes model you rented.
