Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia
Accident w/ possibly unlicensed driver.
I was struck from behind while sitting at a red light. The other driver asked that the police not be called, and I informed her that I would be calling the police to the scene. She willing gave me information, the SUV was in her husbands name. I got the VIN, insurance company and policy number, tag number, name and phone number. When I asked to see her license however, she claimed she did not have it and left the scene of the accident before police arrived. What can I do to protect myself after a week of no communication from her husbands insurance company?

Give 'em a month to respond, then consider filing suit
against this errant driver in small claims court (assuming that
you have her verified address and that your provable damages do not
exceed $5K).
