So I live in Chicago, Il. On April 8, 2010 a guy hit my car (boyfriend was driving and he's insured on my policy) while I was at work. What happened was that my boyfriend was still in park on the side of the street, legally parked. He had just turned the car on when a car all of the sudden reverse and backed up to park in an illegal spot right in front of my car and ended up hitting my front bumper. The guy claimed to not have seen him and immediately admitted he was at fault. So they exchanged phone numbers. My boyfriend did not get his last name. Just the license plate number.
The other driver told my boyfriend he did not have car insurance and it was his friends car. So, being nice, he let him off the hook. He texted my boyfriend stating he'd pay for the damage. When we told him the quote $340, he changed his mind and said he wouldn't pay. I think I'm passed the deadline to file a police report. What can I do? Can I make any claims or try to get him to pay another way? I don't have his address or anything, just cell phone number and license plate. Is it possible to sue with that information? Thanks! 10 pts best answer!
