Judge Sludge says:
 |
he did this because he knew he didn't have insurance to cover the cost and he wanted to flee before it was found out and he might go to jail... Notify the police of your situation and they should suspend his license until it's satisfied, making his next traffic stop a trip to jail... |

you need to do that right away but you may not even find the guy now that hit you,chances are he gave you a wrong address also,but i would file report on it as soon as i could,they might find him,good luck with it. |

Did you get his tag number? You should tell your insurance and they will fight that for you so you dont have to stress about it because trust me they are not going to want to pay lol |

If a police report isnt filed at the scene and time of the accident, you are going to have a tough time. Insurance companies require police reports to substaniate or disprove claims so this is a big problem. If you know anyone in law enforcement, see if you can run his tags (if you were able to write those down).
Side story:
I once rear ended a car on the highway and gave the guy my insurance info fully expecting to recieve a call about how to proceed with payment for the damage I caused. However, my insurance company (State Farm) told me that without a police report to verify the other drivers story, I would not be held responsible for any payments. I live in PA |

I am assuming you filed a report with the police - get a hold of the officer and let him know. Then tell you insurance all the info you have on the guy and the report number. Your insurance will try to hunt him down they will also pay for your repairs unfortunately you will have to pay you deductible but the insurance will hunt down the guy and try to get the money back for you. I was in an accident and the guy had no insurance or DL and I paid my deductible and figured I would never see it again. Then I had something happen to my car another time and needed tire real bad had no money went to the mail box and there was a check from my insurance from this guy 3 yrs later and this was after I received a letter from the insurance claiming they were closing the case. |

Yes, you should call the police and then tell them how dumb you are for not getting his drivers license and tag information. |

yup, you sure can! as long as you have the guy's license plate number you should be good. you should've called the cops when the accident first happened, they may give you a hard time about that.. good luck! |

I had a similar situation. A guy hit my car and he did not have a drivers license on him at that time and also he didn't have an active insurance coverage at that time. So he also gave wrong insurance details.
I called Police and they arrived at the accident and made the Traffic Accident Report.
The Repair costs are around $400.
So I have
1. Police Report of the accident.
2. License plate number.
3. Person's phone # ( which he doesn't answers after I told him the repair cost of $400 ).
Accident happened a month ago.
1. How to proceed from this point ?
2. if I contact my insurance company to make the claim, will that affect my insurance ? Or can I just follow with Police regarding this.
