Lets keep the racial stuff out if it guys, it's irrelevant. He's a lowlife no matter what his ethnicity.



Call your insurance company and explain to them briefly what happened. If the way you describe it is how it appears on the police report, your company will subrogate on your behalf against his insurance. His company will pay the damages.

Good thing you witnessed it. If you would have still been in the store the sorry scumbag probably would have driven off without a trace. What a bummer it will get repaired and look better than before sorry to hear that bro.

You should be fine, and it's not a bad thing to do. If there's a problem with the guy, you have your insurance company to go after him and his insurance company.

Make sure you put into your claim an amount for diminished value. The repair will show up on Carfax and lessen your trade-in or resale value.

As long as you are not paying the damages, you are FINE..

BUT, your baby will be away for maybe a week or so..

Lack of personal accountability......the guy was a jerk; but you'll be ok provided he has insurance. Just be glad you were able to witness the situation.

what number did she dial? i always get confuse whether i should dial 911 or some other number for this kind of situation.

HappyG

Didn't know what other numbers to call, so she called 911.

Same **** happened to me, excpet I wasnt there to catch the douchebag, he just drove off. I was bugging out and cursing in the middle of the parking lot. Glad you caught the guy, he def would've just drove off and found another spot.

HappyG

After many calls to the police station, I finally got the police report.

It turn out that the other driver was not from NY but was driving somebody else's car that is registered in NY. He must be from one of those places that don't have to do parallel parking.

Here is the problem. I have the other party's insurance policy number, the plate number, and the VIN. But the insurance company name, phone number, or address was not stated in the police report.

How on earth can I go forward without the other party's insurance company contact info? All I have is the policy number that starts with VS.

If your policy number starts with VS, please let me know the insurance company contact info. Thanks for the help.

As previously suggested, you can have your insurance company subrogate it. You'll pay your deductible, then get it back when they recover from the other company. I'm sure _they_ can find out whose policy number it is!

hope things work out for ya!

gee wiz

Hope this doesn't turn out like our recent similar situation. The guy that hit my wife was driving someone else's insured car, but he was not named on the policy, so it turned out to be an uninsured motorist claim. Our insurance covered it, with us paying the deductible, but it just complicated and extended the process a little.

I know this all really sucks and will be a big burden on your time no matter what happens, but you just have to roll with it. Best of luck.
