Q: Hello, a car cut me off and i hit him from the back. nothing major. I signaled for him to follow me but he left
He called the police and gave them my plate. I filed the report this morning
A: Turn it over to your insurance. Be guided by them. If there was a camera at the intersection go to see if it covers that part. If there was a camera at a business across from where it happened that was pointing toward the street see if it caught it. Otherwise, you get cited plead not guilty. If you get a hit and run see a lawyer. Most states there are some bad consequences and even if you think the other person's full of baloney, no reason to chance it.
