What is the name of your state? California
I was rear ended tonight while sitting at a red light. The guy said that he hit the gas instead of the brake by mistake.
My question is this: I exchanged info with the guy and all that but no police were notifed. My dad tells me how stupid I am for not having called the cops but I don't have a clue what the proper thing to do in those situations would be.
Do I need to call them now, after the fact, even though there is no scene to visit? Or should I call them? Will it be counted against me as a black mark on my record with my insurance company?
And BTW, my neck and shoulders are hurting me today, but I did not say anything at the scene.
What is your opinion on my situation and how should I proceed from here?
