should I take him to small claims court?

HElp!What should I do??

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? New York
Someone reversed into me in a parking lot. I didn't call the police b/c he said he would pay for it. I got all his info and called him with an estimate. I found out he gave me a wrong phone number. I filed a claim against him through his insurance, and now he's saying I hit him. They don't want to give me anything for my damages. I also filed a complaint with the NYS insurance Dept and waiting to hear from them. Should I take him to court?

And what did YOUR ins. Co. do when you filed your complaint with them ?

It is not necessary to call/have a Police report on a none injury accident .

since NY is a no fault ins. State , Your ins. Co. should be handling this .

I do not have collison on my insurance, only Liability so my company said I should file a claim against him through his insurance. I do not have a police report. What should I do now?

Well obviously the other person's Ins. Co. is going to fight it and blame you .

Take it to small claims , have all your evidence ,Estimates ,witnesses , Etc . , and be confident , and present your case , short ,brief and to the facts and hope the Judge is inclined that your story with your evidence is more believable .

Without witnesses , it would be you said , they said anyways .
