Reply to comment by lost_in_life_34 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

I actually got a picture of her license plate before she took off. I got out the car and that’s the second thing I did, after dialing 911. Wasn’t going to take a chance. But still couldn’t believe she took off. I guess this is a common thing, hit and runs. Disgusting.

so glad you took a pic. that's 100% the very first thing that needs to be done in an accident. video or photos. soooo many people flee. I'm angry for you at the way the police treated you. wtf.

Let the insurance company know, they’ll be able to perform a plate search for the car and then be able to pull the other parties insurance info and then they can subrogate for damages

which doesn't really prove anything since you didn't catch the event

There would be some sign of damage to their car, and the GPS data on their phone would pin them at the exact location as OP. The evidence is there, it's just a question of being able to obtain it.

There should be corresponding damage on her car. Scrapped paint at least that should match yours. As long as you act before she can get it fixed, you should have a case.
