What is the name of your state? California
I was involved in an accident where someone cut me off and hit me in the process, they left the scene. I was so shaken and so was my daughter once I gathered myself I went about my business later finding the driver about a half mile from the accident. The police were not called (big mistake). I did file a report with the CHP that Monday. We exchanged information and sent it on to our insurance company. This was a rental car which I did not get the extra insurance on because I rented the car with an American Express Card. Bottom line my insurance company won't pay, his won't pay(he's now claiming I made an illegal lane change) and American Express won't pay because I didn't actually pay for the car rental through the card. Now I am going to take him to Small Claims court and the rental company is telling me I cannot sue anyone in the state of California if I haven't actually paid out any money for the damage to the car. Is this true?
