Last Friday I was involved in a hit and run accident in which a coward rear ended me and fled the scene. I was on my way to work and had to take the day off because of it. Now generally I know and realize I would be screwed in this situation, BUT coincidently his front bumper fell off of his vehicle and attached to it was his license plate. I have taken all of the proper steps on my end by obtaining a police report, notifying my insurance company, and getting my truck to the repair shop. I have never been in an accident before. My question is; if my insurance company reports back to me saying that he doesn't have insurance, is there anything I can do legally to get the money I am spending on repairs, overtime lost at work, and back pay from my doctor visits?
P.S.
This happened in Houston, TX.
I also have obtained this coward's address through a good friend of mine.
Any help I can get is MUCH appreciated...
