TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS
What if the person that
hit me does not have insurance or gave me fake information?
File the claim through your insurance, under the uninsured motorist
provision, and let your insurance company file suit against the
other driver.\
File a law suit through small claims court/Justice of the Peace
(upper limit is $5,000.00)
Hire a private attorney to handle the matter.
The police department is minimally involved in insurance matters.
A detective may be able to file a citation for Failure to Maintain
Financial Responsibility.
They can only do this if you can prove that someone gave you false
information.
In order for this to happen, an officer must have responded to
the scene and seen the "proof of insurance" the suspect
driver offered.
The detective would then be able to file the previously mentioned
citation, if you provide them with written proof from the insurance
company that the suspect driver's insurance has either expired or
is otherwise nonexistent.
