Legal Question in Traffic Law in Illinois

Is it hit & run?

A man who drove his van with a U-haul trailer hit my car,

which was parked in the lot. I reported to the police and

have the police report. However, his insurance

company told me after a month that they could not get in

touch with their insurer. And this man's phone was

disconnected. I learned that he had moved to another

town, but I don't know his current address.\

Is this a kind of hit & run? Can I possibly find out his

new address with the information on the police report?

If yes, how? Can I sue him without his current address?

Thank you.

It does appear to be a hit and run. The police should be able to find him. You would need his current address to serve him/her with a summons and complaint. Good Luck !
