What is the name of your state? California (Los Angeles)
I was turning left in the left-hand left turn lane; I turned the corner to the next light and sat motionless. A large company truck was turning left in the right-hand left turn lane. I noticed the front of the truck come inches from the front passenger door/right fender of my car, and the next thing I knew, the rear part of the truck was up on top of the right side of my rear bumper. The bumper sustained damage. I got all of the information off of the truck (company name and number, truck #, CA #, DOT #, license plate). The driver informed me that he worked for an agency which was contracted by the company itself and that the truck didn't have insurance. I have insurance, but my registration is on hold until I pay a $300 ticket. I have already paid for the registration through AAA, and my insurance is valid. What course of action should I take? We did not file a police report because I wasn't sure what would be said of my registration, and because LAPD would never have showed up anyway (I've been involved in similar accidents in the past, though I was never at fault). What are my options?
