What is the name of your state? PA
I have a truck who was parked on a private lot. It had minor damage that would have cost us approximately $300 to repair. well, one of the drivers of the above named company entered the lot (he was not permitted in there) and made a U turn. well he proceeded to hit my truck twice and cause more damage. This was all caught on video. I sent pictures of my truck as well as a copy of the video and now the trucking company is telling me they will only reimburse me $300 on the new damage to my truck. the damaged caused by this company comes to about $1,000 i asked for their insurance company and they told me they are self insured. (that is hard to believe for a major US trucking company who is based all on the east coast. I do not want to report it to my company and have a claim against my insurance company, let alone have my rates go up. the man was rude and so forth let alone his driver drove off and did not file a report until I called them. What do I do now? I have called and left a message for the president of the company but have a feeling these people are going to be difficult. i have pictures and video. do I report it for a hit and run even though it was 1 week since the accident? do i report the driver to the DOT? i am lost and not willing to take $300 since the damage to replace or fix what they did.
