Hi,,,while inside shopping , another vehicle hit the side of my vehicle in parking lot ( witness said hard enough to actually move my vehicle a little)...then trying to leave in a hurry almost hit another vehicle and some people who witnessed the incident. These people were able to get her license plate number and when police came , they gave to officer along with description of what happened. Officer ran her plate and got her address, after taken my report he said he was going to go to her home since it was close by. Said he would issue tickets for 1) leaving the scene of accident, 2) failure to report, 3) careless driving
My question is: Can I recover for the loss of value to my vehicle ( 2020 Jeep Compass with 20,000 miles)
And little confused why...when i received police report she was only charged with careless driving... she tried to leave so as to get away with it, she obviously knew she struck it...
Can I push for her to be charged with " leaving scene of accident and failure to report" if there was no witness she would have gotten away with the damage to my vehicle
