I am in the state of California. I was hit last weekend and the lady gave me all her info. Somehow, I must've lost the sheet of paper because i was shook up from being hit. My friend took pictures of our cars, so I have her license plate number, but that's all.
Can I still get this taken care of without all her info, and how do I go about doing that?

For a small fee the DMV will provide the registered owner's name and address.

This is something you need to give to your insurance company ... you do have insurance, don't you?

Yes I have insurance.
Sounds like I need to head over to the DMV. Thanks.

I believe CA DMV stopped releasing that info unless it was to
1. an atty, who
2. stated that info was necessary for purposes of litigation, only.

If so, the insurance co would obtain it.

According to the DMV's website, they still provide that information. The from used to request the info can be found here:

http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/inf/inf70.pdf

And a copy of the request document is sent to the registered owner.

Ah, for the good ol' days when people couldn't so easily find out stuff about you.
