The police obtained as much information from her as possible then gave her my information with all my insurance info and drivers license number.
Here is my question... The lady claimed to the officer she did not hit me and the damange to my car was already there even though my paint was on her car...
The damage is not bad enough for me to want to go through my insurance since she doesn't have any but now that she has my information what would happen if she called my insurance company and claimed I hit her? I don't want to have to claim it as the damage is minor and wont cost me much to repair but I also don't know if she will try and pull a fast one and call my insurance reversing the situation.
What do you guys think is the best way to handle the situation?
Thanks,
James D.

Was this women issued a citation ? I most states, operating a motor upon a public way that is uninsured is a criminal offense. In addition, depending upon whether or not this women was duly licensed, that can also be a criminal violation. Finally, knowingly leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident/property damage is a criminal offense as well. And in some circumstances is arrestable, particularly if personal injury occurs. It doesn't sound like California's finest did much of a thorough job is this case.
