Legal Question in Personal Injury in Ohio
One lady hit my car while it was parked. A police report was filed. She told me that she didn't wanted to go through her insurance company and asked to settle privately. I agreed and sought estimates. I gave her estimates but she has not yet paid and making excuses, what should I do ?
Thanks

If she continues to make excuses notify her insurance company. The name of the insurance company should be on the police report. If she did not maintain insurance notify the Bureau of Motor Vehicles as her license will be suspended. If you maintained insurance on your vehicle notify your insurance company depending on the response that you get in terms of tracking down her insurance as they will pay for the damage less your deductible and will pursue her or her insurance for reimbursement which usually results in your being paid back your deductible. Good luck
