What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MS
I need some advice on how to proceed with an accident claim. My car was involved in a hit and run accident on October 1, 2008. The ambulance driver was leaving a restaurant and backed into my car. He left the scene of the accident without leaving any contact information. Luckily I was coming out of the building and there were other witnesses to ID the ambulance. I have yet to receive compensation for this accident and I am still riding around in a banged up car. Their local representative came out to take pictures of my car but I have not been able to reach her since the pictures were taken. I recently faxed a letter to their district representative with the accident cost and cost of forseeable damage. I gave him seven days to respond. I am concerned that all of the contact has been by phone because they will not give me an address. I am also concerned about their slow response to all my inquiries. What should I do? I am considering Small Claims Court because I don't want to use my insurance company to persue them. I'm afraid my policy will increase.
