What is the name of your state? Virginia
A couple months ago my fiance was crossing a 4 way stop sign intersection and was hit by a pick up truck. The guy driving the truck arrived at the intersection after she started to cross the street on the opposite side of the intersection. She paused to let him advance and as he drove by he saw a friend and was waving at his friend, paying no attention to the road and plowed her over. The guy helped her up and walked her to the grocery store across the street where her mother was shopping. He left his first name and telephone number and took off. Note: No police report was filed. The next day she had to go to the ER due to injuries and ended up having her ribs severely bruised. We have been trying to call this guy up for months and he constantly avoids us. When he does answer his phone when we call from an unidentified number he will hang up or say that he is losing signal on his cell. Recently I was able to obtain his full name and address using an investigation service online using his telephone number. Do we have a strong enough case to bring him to small claims court for an amount of approximately $1,000 (reimbursement of medical bills and 3 days of missed work)? I am concerned about the lack of a police report. What can I do to build a case against him without a report?
