But I was an auto liability claims adjuster for years before I was laid off and started doing photog full time. But YES, you need to report this to your insurance. Likely the idiot is not insured b/c he was so weird at the scene... AND likely is phone number is not correct. But LUCKILY you got his license plate. Report it to your insurance and they can run his plate. They can contact him through the mail (if his ph# is not correct) and report him to the DMV for leaving the scene with out giving insurance info. He could even have his license suspended if he doesn't cooperate with the DMV. As a claims adjuster, that was sweet revenge for people who slammed into my insured's car and left with out giving their insurance info. One of my favorite things to do was hire a somebody to show up on this guy's doorstep and demand his insurance info. :-) You would be surprised the lengths your insurance will go to to find this guy.<BR/><BR/>Plus... if he is uninsured, most policies have an "uninsured deductible waiver." Its optional, but a lot of people have it and don't know it. So its worth looking into it. :-)<BR/><BR/>I hope it all works out!!! I've heard 1 too many stories about guys like this who think its not THEIR FAULT. Its frustrating.See Sherm Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17240327259956616217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071698206413912293.post-48949056696096123612008-04-10T15:37:00.000-07:002008-04-10T15:37:00.000-07:00Hey I was not planning on going to girl's night on...Hey I was not planning on going to girl's night on the 18th because I did not think I would know anyone very well!

That way, he gets a ticket for failing to yield, AND you are 100% covered by his insurance. If he doesn't have insurance, he gets a bigger ticket. I had to learn this the hard way- got rear ended and the person ended up not having to pay. His insurance fought my insurance and since there were no witnesses, I was stuck fixing my scratched & cracked bumper.<BR/><BR/>I would still call and make him take care of it, but hearing about his reaction, he's probably not going to say, "Oh, yes I'll just pay my deductable for your scratched bumper to be fixed." I'd call your insurance ASAP and let them know- then call the guy and inform him that you need his insurance info. <BR/><BR/>I would have the guy fix it- especially if he was a jack ass about the whole thing!<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Shan @ Design Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14903881848964533208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071698206413912293.post-81270559000553154842008-04-09T15:47:00.000-07:002008-04-09T15:47:00.000-07:00YES!!!
