My car has been hit and run?

Question

I was waiting for a taxi in my home and when it pulled up we all started getting ready, we saw it turn round then drive off we went out side and it had reversed into the side of my car, i called the taxi firm and they are completely denying it and saying that the taxi isn't here yet. 6 of us in the house witnessed it and so did my next door neighbour.

WHAT CAN I DO?

Answer 1

Call the police and get gave them the names of all the witnesses.  

Answer 2

Get a statement from all the witnesses (particularly your neighbour), tell the police and call your insurance company.

Answer 3

Six witnesses, you must have taken his registration number - didn't you?

If so let your insurance company chase him.

If not it will be hard to prove. You need to consider how bad is the damage. Do I pay or loose my NCD by making an insurance claim?

Don't expect any help from the taxi company, they will stick together.

The police may not be much help either. They only want to become involved if someone is injured.

Answer 4

Call the police ASAP! Have all the witnesses write a statement explaining that they saw the taxi hit your vehicle. Having that many people witness your car getting hit is un-deniable and unbelievable. You'll probably have a good case. Good luck.  

Answer 5

Call the police and they will go and ask at  the taxi office ,and check the cars .

Answer 6

b******s! Call the police - failing to stop after an accident is a criminal offence!

I hope you won't use that taxi company any more.

Good Luck

Answer 7

Answer 8

Go into the police department and file a hit and run report.

Then put in a claim with your insurance company.   They will do the work for you.   Just give them all the info.

Answer 9

Call it in to the police and then your insurance carrier.  You'll need to give each witnesses information so your adjuster can contact them for a recorded statement.

You pay a premium each year, let your insurance company do their job

Answer 10

Call the police straight away for them to investigate and get a crime no., it would help if you got the cars registration no. too for them to chase up the taxi firm.

Then call your insurance company who will more than likely want statements from you, your witnesses and confirmation from the police.

Is there any paint scraped off the taxi onto your car that might help prove it did hit it?
