How can I find out information from an auto accident that the other driver didn't provide correctly or at all?

If the police were present, obtain a copy of the Police Report.

Not sure how you can get paid if neither of you had insurance.  But my best advise is to contact an attorney.  I know attorney's charge a fee, but you may want to check out www.allexperts.com and find an accident attorney on that site and ask them the same question.  It is a free site and you can find experts in almost anything there.  I use it myself.\n\nGood luck and I hope you can find an attorney on allexperts.com.

The owner of the car is responsible unless he gave you permission to drive the car. The witness who changed his story can repudiate it and tell the truth in court as a witness for you and tell why he had to change his story because of the officer.\n You may be able to pursue legal action against the actual driver and the girl who actually caused the accident in the first place.\n Consult a lawyer,if you can't afford one,the court has to get you one and time to prepare.\n I also agree with other posts,you were wrong to change seats and you need to get new friends.

Tell your lawyer to do his job or you will A) report him to the bar for neglecting a legal matter entrusted to him and B) sue him for breach of contract and legal malpractice. Speaking as a lawyer myself, I can NOT drop a client on the basis the Respondent doesn't have insurance!\n\nNext point...was the driver charged with operating without insurance? I bet there is a policy in effect...but the driver was not listed on the policy...therefore you can still sue the company that owned the vehicle as well as make a claim against the drivers personal policy if any is in effect at the time of the accident\n\nHope this helps....to not attempt to settle this yourself! You don't even know the extent of your damages!

You can't legally do that. You can ask the police to investigate if there is an issue, and you can give the plate # to your insurance company if you have been in an accident. They can look up the information.

I'm going through a similar issue right now with a personal injury claim from an automobile accident. You should go to your local library and check out the book "How to Win Your Personal Injury Claim." It's very useful, and has a formula for calculating how much your claim is worth.\n\nHowever, if you claim is worth a significant amount of money, you definitely shouldn't be handing it alone. Make sure to get a lawyer!

Do they have a license? If they are illegal they used false documents to get it. I would remove them ASAP. Check with your insurance company for their policy riders.\n\nP.S. They are correct about you being liable if there is an accident. So please remove this person and check with the company.

Police will not always attend the scene to report an accident. Unless there is injury to a person other than the driver. Damage to street furniture or witnessed by a Constable.\n\nYou and the driver have a responsibility under 170(2) of the Road Traffic Act to report the accident to police as soon as possible and in any case within 24hours.\n\nAlso the any person must give their details if required to do so and in the case of injury must produce a certificate of insurance at the scene. If they fail they commit an offence.  If some one at the scene gives false details that is also an offence under the RTA. Go to the police and report this fact to them. \n\nNearly everyone out there is a proper person, so if they gave you false dets it's because they had no licence or where not insured.\n\nMost insurance company's want the excess money upfront in any case, if you find the other driver the monies will be paid back by the insurance company, Yes you will lose your no claims discount and no it is not fair, insurance company's are there to make money not to assist you, in their words ot mine. (a top exec from a company once said to me all insurance does is give you a good nights sleep)\n\nI'm not sure what the name is, but there is a bureau of insurers that will assist you when have had an accident with uninsured drivers.

You would have to ask the DMV who the registered owner is. Depending on your state, you may not be able to get the info.

Hmm, good question.  Local newspaper will have it though...in a day or two.  You can try and check out the local police station website, don't know if maybe they list stuff like that.  I don't think there's too many ways to find out, people in accident probably don't want everyone gossiping about them.

The police are correct in their assessment.  Without an independent, disinterested witness to the state of the traffic signal, it comes down to "he said, she said" and unless one of you is of such poor character as to be not believable then it is a wash.  \n\nIf there were any other drivers that witnessed the accident but did not stop, it might be worth taking out an advert in the local rag asking if anyone witnessed the accident and would be willing to come forward and make a statement.\n\nBest of luck!

First, I am really sorry to hear this and wish you all the best.\n\nBut knowing a good law firm requires knowing the specific jurisdiction of the event. You are going to be looking for a plaintiff's litigation firm which specializes in personal injury. While money is not necessarily an objective, the recovery might be extensive assuming the estate of the deceased driver has anything to give. I would recommend consulting with a few different lawyers in your area and comparing their advice. Given what you have said, the recovery should be rather significant (including injuries to your wife, vehicle loss, loss of wages, and any potential impact it might have on the child). But just compare the advice of the attnys in the area and proceed from there.

First, it's really predicated upon whether the crash occurs in a "no-fault" jurisdiction, in which case each indivudal motorist would have to file their own claim with their own insurance company.  In all other situations, it would depend on the police investigation, and ultimately to whom the police assign blame in the accident report.

The burden of proof is on her and her insurance company to prove you hit her vehicle. My advice close-up/detailed pictures of your vehicle immediately. Contact your agent immediately and tell him what happened, insist that you did not hit the vehicle, include the detail that the woman had already moved her vehicle, so niether of you can prove how close you actually were. This is a case where your insurance company will fight for you, they don't want to pay a false claim. Good luck.

It was an accident.  File it under insurance.
