hello, i was involved in a hit and run accident last night in downtown dallas.a truck ran a red light and struck me in the middle of an intersection.he backed out and proceeded to take off, so i made a UTURN and went after him.I had to chase him quite a ways.I finally got his license plate.I figured he was drunk and didnt want to have a report made.I called the operator on a cellular phone and i asked her to trasfer me to whoever i needed to talk to about a hit and run.I talked to someone but they said all i could do is just keep the license plate for my insurance, because i had left the scene of the accident.So I still pursued him (at high speeds) and i chased him into an unknown neighborhood.After that, i found him hiding in between cars and his truck was parked in somebody's lawn.I jumped out of my car, jumped into his truck and tried to find the keys so i could take them.they werent there so i searched his glovebox for insurance information.Nothing was in there.SO i got out of the truck, and the man came running towards us.I thought he had a gun and was on his property now, but i was furious and outraged.My friend handed me a baseball bat i had in my car and i began to smash his window and taillight.He took off, and i have not seen him since.I have reported my accident to the police in a report, and am noticing my insurance tomorrow (monday).
what is the best decision to make?can he sue me for smashing his car, even though he failed to stop?it was a new truck and i assume he did have insurance.i think he was drunk and tried to ditch the scene.i know what i did wasnt right and i realize that now that i have calmed down.What can/should i do?i doubt he has filed a police report, and even if he did, it would be faulty because it wouldnt be truthful.I did not put that i smashed up his car with an aluminum baseball bat in my reports.Should i deny the smashing?can he prove i did it?what if i saw beer bottles open in his backseat?
thanks to anyone who replys.
