hit and run..HELP
so today i was on old dominon in McLean and as i was driving a huge SUV pulls out and hits my drivers side front end and runs me off the road...
my bumper falls into pieces and my headlights are fucked....as i got outta the car to get my bumper the driver stops then dips out...(DUMBEST DRIVER ALIVE) the person hits me and dips out but they hit me as they were pulling out of the drive way..so i know where they live...(sounds complicated but its not my fault..witnesses)
so i called the cops and he gave me a case number...what i need help with is...do i do what the cop says..(report this to my insurance and give them the case number) or do i wait for the person who hit me to contact me?
im worried about my insurance going up and me gettin screwed over
sorry im just stressin a lot of things...i know i wrote a lot of jibberish

. Hit and run is a serious offense, so if you work it right then you'll get compensated in the end.

Call everyone involved. Call every day. Be persistent, especially with the person who hit you. They are responsible for the damage and your insurance company may help you out with resolving this quicker because they don't want to pay for it. Nag. Bitch. Whine. People have a tendency to avoid conflict at all costs. Good luck.

The person who hit you needs to call THEIR insurance. Don't call yours unless you absolutely have to.
It was a hit and run. Since you know where they supposedly live, you have the upper hand. They can get charged with leaving the scene of an accident as well. Call the Police back and tell them to do their thing and make the other party pay for it as well.

Re: hit and run..HELP
Why the fuck would your insurance go up if it wasn't your fault? Do you have full coverage or just liability? Who's your insurance company? Was it a FFX county officer or state trooper?
