Q: Can I sue the person who hit my illegally parked car and left the scene without any notice?
The accident was from my employer's parking lot and the other party was a visitor of the next building. I was able to get her contact from the next building since the incident was clearly recorded at our surveillance cameras. After I sent her some evidence, she admitted she hit my car but keep saying that my car was illegally parked.
I couldn't get a police report as I didn't call the police at the scene even though it was because I didn't noticed the scratch at the time. The estimated cost for the repair is about $600. She gave me her name, address, and insurance info. and asked mine. First question.. do I have to give her my personal info. even though I was not in the car or at the scene?
Also, can I still sue her for hit and run regardless of the result from the insurance company? Thank you in advance.
