Here's what happened:
I stopped at a 4-way stop as did the driver to the left of me. I proceeded and once I was a few feet into the interection, so did he and he hit my car, stopped and hit it again, as if he wasn't paying attention or couldn't see my car (he was in a large van). The policeman that came to the scene cited the other driver for failing to yield to my right of way and presented me with a "non-reportable" police report (this is in PA, but I don't know what they mean by "non-reportable"). Will the other driver's insurance be expected to pay for my damages given the information supplied in the police report? I am assuming they would, but I'm still concerned since I can't afford to fix the car myself (it's old and I only carry liability insurance).
Thanks!

The guy works for the city, so he'll have to report the incident, esp. since it was a city vehicle and he was on the clock. I called my insurance Co. and they are going to contact his today. Thanks for the responses!

Non- Reportable just means that it isn't an official copy. I would use the info on the report that you were given, and call his insurance company to make a claim yourself. The other driver probably hasn't reported the accident to his insurance company or the insurance company hasn't bothered to contact you.
Also, if you have uninsured/under-insured coverage, then you might get it covered that way.
If that doesn't work out, then your only option is to go to court, small claims or otherwise depending on the value of your car, and sue.
You will need an official (stamped or otherwise) copy to go to court. Make sure that it makes note of the other driver being cited for failing to yield at the scene...

It relies upon on the wear and tear on your motor vehicle. you will possibly be waiting to hint down who hit you by potential of the colour of paint left on your motor vehicle and the region and severity of the damages carried out. have been you relatively in the motor vehicle while it got here approximately? if so, i'd document a record merely in case they are able to looking the guy that did this to you. A neck harm won't be conveniently obvious, so definite i'd pursue looking the jerk. yet another ingredient, the guy probable ran because of fact he/she did no longer even have coverage, grew to become into intoxicated, or had warrants out for his/her arrest. i'm hoping they capture the creep!
