Reply to comment by Chrisproulx98 in Got rear ended this morning 9am with car full of kids, driver fled the scene, but cops gave ME a hard time. by OceanAvenue187

My insurance said the other car is to blame. Just really disappointed with the way the police handled it.

You don’t even need a police report for insurance. I’ve been rear ended and we just let our insurances handle it, the other guy’s insurance paid for everything.
Do you have the other driver’s info tho?

Really? That’s interesting. The police had to call Enterprise to get the information.

Just chiming in to say the same thing: I was rear ended in late 2012 (relatively minor accident) & insurance just handled it completely.

Also want to add I've been in an accident with no police report (minor parking lot hit). I also work in the collision industry and work closely with insurance companies. They definitely prefer a police report but they are not necessary; it's mainly to verify who's at fault from what I've been told.

I bet they're lying though. Let the insurance handle it

Is this the first time you’ve been disappointed by the police? Not to sound judgmental of you but kind of the reality of most people. Thanks m glad you and your kids are safe and I’m sorry this happened to you guys.
