Earlier today A woman backed up into my parked vehicle at a gas station causing considerable damage to my car while I was pumping gas..I chased her down but she sped off...I got her Licence plate numbers and the cops gave me all the info..but shouldnt she be arrested or something, Also The insurance company told me that if they can't get ahold of her there is nothing they can do, Like she could just ignore thier calls and never have to pay...what should I do. I live in Texas and i have been trying to find out more info..someone help please!

Sounds like your insurance co. is a bit lazy. How about checking with the DMV and see what they suggest because in my state you have to turn in an accident report within 10 days. As for personal experience, my son actually had an old lady back up and hit his car and drove off and all he had was her license plate number. He called the police and they found the old woman and they were able to get her insurance information so my son was able to call them. Hope this helps some and good luck!

Go again to the shop wherein you probably did all this If the character did not have coverage they might have readily left since that they will have to have no longer been there(considering that the vehicle will have to have no longer been at the street) and there through you might no longer have hit them kinda deal. Yea wish for that rationale different then them no longer having coverage your most of the time tousled. But yea return to the shop wherein it occurred and ask round. If they did make a deal out of it they have got made a file or have left there information. Note a car park is personal estate and there for there are a few intriguing laws relying at the state. If you're in main issue touch a lawyer and notice what they may be able to do. It is valued at the couple hundred it should fee. Goodluck

Take her to small claims court. Because you have her license plate, you can get the rest of her info from the cops...or the insurance company somehow. Tell them you are going to take her to court.

Take her to small claims court - file a hit and run complaint against her - get a new insurance company.

I hope you got one or more names of witnesses.
I'm sure you could file a complaint/suit in court for your damages if the police won't cite her and your insurance won't pay (or will raise your rates if they do). But it would help if you have a witness or two.
