Q: I was parked in parking space at 7-11 store Jackson NJ. while I was in store the vehicle next to me was backing up
The kid didn't have their door closed & it buckled my rear passenger door and did damage to the handle. She then pulled forward so the kid could close the door- and was continuing to back out. I then came out of the store and saw the damage. The driver replied to me" there is nothing you can do about it- its not a movable offense". I told them not to move & i called the police. However Jackson PD stated we would have to work it out between our self's. it wasn't re-portable and he did not do a motor vehicle report. Is that true or can i request one be done??
A: If the police refuse to file a report at the scene you can go to the station and tell them you want to file an accident report and they should give you a form.
