Over the weekend my boyfriend was involved in a hit and run. He was hit by a car that ran a red light. Both of the drivers pulled over and exchanged info. At that time, the other driver told my boyfriend that he could just pay him cash for the damage, my boyfriend said no that he was going to call the PD. Well, the guy took off. We call the police and they said the driver's lisence number we were given isn't valid, but they were able to pull up the driver's info with the plate number and other info we did get. We have a police report showing the other driver at fault for the hit and run. We went to our insurance agent and were told that we were probably better off paying our deductable, getting the car fixed and letting the insurance companies battle it out and hope that we get it back. I'm basically wondering, what are the chances of getting the money back, the police going after the guy, and what to expect (ie: are we going to have to goto court?). Any help is appreciated.
