Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

She is lying

A lady had hit my vehicle at a stoplight and kept going. Becuase of that, I was unable to get info from witnesses as I wanted to get her license plate number first. I was forced to pull her over on the freeway. At that time she willingly gave me her work and home phone number. And gave me her insurance card from her wallet. Saying that she will take full responsibility for the damage. Although there is no damage to her car and only on mine. Now she claims that she never hit me and I have to pay to fix my car. I dont think that is right because she admitted to it when I pulled her over and she gave me her insurance card. If she didnt hit me, why would she be stupid enough to give me her info?? She obviously is insane thinking she can get away with this. What can I do to get to her to pay for what she did??

Re: She is lying

from the facts given so far, it does indeed sound like you have enough circumstantial evidence at least to successful prevail in a claim against this woman for property damage to your vehicle. i would suggest moving quickly on this action though. so, if you would like further legal assistance and/or representation, email me with her and/or her insurance company's contact information along with the monetary damages your vehicle has incurred, etc..and i am sure we can getter this matter resolved fairly swiftly in your favor.

Re: She is lying

Thank you for your inquiry.

You need, or your lawyer needs to, file a claim with her insurance company. As you might expect, any damage to your vehicle should be well documented, and you should keep track of any witnesses for future use.

If the insurance company refuses to pay, you may have to sue her in small claims court, or through an attorney, to recover your losses.

Thanks, and best of luck.
