Someone gave you the name and number of their friend or someone they hate.
You need to file a police report of the accident, if you have any details of the accident that would be great.
Maybe a neighbor saw something, a license plate number of the car that hit you would be nice to get.

well if he knows a panelbeater, then he could get the damage fixed in a few hours!
If he's denying it and theres no damage to his car now, then I don't think the insurance will take nay notice of you.
I feel sorry for you and that driver, who cant own up.

You will have to use your own insurance to make the repairs. After Your insurance pays out, their lawyers will go after the other guy. If you had made a police report at the time of the accident, he couldn't have gotten away with denying it happened.
