Believe me, this has been a major stress the past few weeks.
I have tried 3 times over the last two weeks to have the person who hit my car contact me. I've done so by reaching out to his business partner, twice by text and once by phone. He never contacted me, even though I was assured the info was passed along. So yesterday I went to the police station and filed the police report. This morning I contacted my insurance company and filed a claim. I am now researching small claims court to go after my deductible and depreciation value, if it comes to that.
To make matters worse, I am friends with the business partner. This happened on their business property. I gave the contact info of my friend to my insurance company, since I did not have contact info of the one who hit my car. My insurance company said if he is not cooperative with releasing the contact info of the man who did this, they will file against the business.
This is going to get very messy and ruin a few friendships. Such is life.
