You can either pay for the repairs yourself, or make a claim on your insurance. If you make a claim without the other driver's info or a police report, you will likey be deemd at fault and your premiums may increase.
You will need to for the insurance claim for car repairs.
Fill out accident report with police. The person's insurance will pay for repairs.
Once you decided to not go through insurance and not file a police report, you left yourself open for paying for your own repairs. Sorry you learned such a hard lesson. Never have an accident and not get a police report. The insurance company is not going to pay out based on someone's word. A police report is needed to file a claim.
Yes. In a rear end accident, the liability is still there even if police are not called.
Backing into a pole hardly warrants a police report. Police reports are commonly done only when two vehicles collide on a public street. You simply go to your insurance agent and tell them that you backed into a pole, and they will take it from there and tell you what has to happen to get the repairs done.
Less your deductible, you should be covered under a "vandalism" clause. You shoukd get a police report completed as well.
Don't understand the part of the question about the "police repo," however, contact the at-fault party's insurance company ASAP - and if you have insurance coverage, contact YOUR insurance company as well. Both companies will want to begin investigations, take pictures of the vehicles, get copies of police reports and medical reports (if any injury), etc, etc.
Yes you can still file a claim with your insurance hopefully you got the other persons info so ythat you can pass it on to your adjuster.
If you have insurance call YOUR insurance and they will pay for your damages and then they will subrogate (meaning they will go after the other persons insurance for reimbursement) If the other person has been cited then they are clearly at fault. Nobody can deny that, make sure you contact the police department for a copy of the police report as well.
It depends on what repair option you choose with the company. If you do not go with one of their shops you will have to get an estimate done by either one of their adjusters or your shop of choice, depending on the state. Some kind of estimate has to be done so they know how much to pay for the damage.
The way car insurance works after an accident is that a report must be made to the insurance company. They will review it and then decide what you new insurance cost will be. Answer: Accidents need to be reported to your insurance company as soon as possible whether you or someone else caused the accident. If police were called to the scene then you must obtain a copy of the police report as well to be sent to your insurance company. All of this if you plan to file the insurance claim through your or the other drivers insurance. Some have accidents but the repairs are so minor that they pay out of pocket rather than getting the insurance companies involved.
