Five car accident, first 4 vehicles stopped in traffic, rear-ended by Vehicle#5 creating chain reaction. My vehicle (#2) front end damaged probably $2-3k of damage. All vehicles driveable from scene. No one injured.
Driver of Vehicle #5 left scene. Bystander got tag number and reported to police. All parties saw Vehicle#5 leaving. Police advise they have found driver at home later that night, smelled of alcohol, initially didn't admit to accident, then admitted but thought it was a fender bender. Vehicle broke down about 1 mile away from accident. Police found vehicle and noted significant damage. Police indicate Veh#5 was supposely insured and have his policy information.
Police advise they are gathering information to get arrest warrant for hit n' run felony charge.
Questions:
(1) Police won't provide any details on driver or his insurance (other than to say it's an Allstate policy), when do they have to?
(2) Should I contact Allstate and provide them police contact and indicate one of their insured involved in accident?
(3) Would having my own lawyer speed this process?
My insurance company indicates I should not repair or dispose of vehicle until this is settled (I have already taken photos of vehicle) which adds to the pain. |
