My car was recently parked in a lot while doing some grocery shopping. When I came out of the store, I had found my car had been backed into. Luckily there was a note left from an anonymous person on my windshield. The note stated " License plate XXX-1234 hit your care. It was a white truck". I called the police immediately to make a report. The police came out and reviewed all the damage. The officer had told me that the note was only considered as a "tip" being that the person did not leave their info. The officer then proceeded to tell me that the only way we would be able to catch the offender is if the other vehicle had damage, or the driver just flat out admitted it. He advised me to get the report once it was done, and if they had found any evidence it would be on the report. Low and behold, when I received the report, there was a drivers name on it, she made statement to him saying " I may have hit a vehicle, but was not aware at the time." The report also said there was damage to the back of her truck. I called my insurance to advise them of what had happened. The advised me to place a claim with the drivers insurance so they could pay me directly for damage. Her insurance (Allstate) was extremely helpful with me, (they inspected my car) and advised me they needed to get in touch with the insured, but were having a hard time doing so. The driver did not get back to them for until two weeks passed. When they did get a hold of her, she told them she did NOT back into my car, and was not at fault. They asked to have her car inspected as well, and when she took it in.... amazingly the damage was gone. Her insurance now wants to deny the claim, and I am definitely going to fight this....
What should I do????
