Your insurance company should handle everything for you , mine did when some bitch hit my parked and drove off . A guy witness the whole and got the car plate # ,he was painting a building and was still there when I got back to my car. He told me what happen ,he also had left a note on my car . I was right across the street from my insurance company and they got the woman’s and insurance info for me . I filed a police report too , the woman’s insurance paid for repair and my rental . I got the last laugh ! My witness said the woman was laughing after she backed into my pulling out her parking space and hitting my car.
