Tennessee. I hope someone can help with this. I have basic liability on my car. A couple of weeks ago a van hit my parked car (street parking), along with 4 other cars, and then left the van at the scene and fled the scene. It's taken two weeks to get the police report, figure out who the van belongs to, and now deal with the van owner's insurance company (same as mine as it turns out).
One problem is that the claims rep is telling me that the van owner is saying his van was stolen...now I question whether this was true cause I heard a rumor that his son was driving the van (but its just a rumor so I don't know). Whether its true or not, is the van owner responsible for damages to my car ($5800 estimate I just got)...and can I demand a) payment to fix my car or b) a rental car until it gets resolved? I have very little money right now and my car isn't safe to drive and the insurance company doesn't seem to be in any hurry to resolve this. HELP! What can I do?
Thanks,
