Legal Question in Traffic Law in Washington

car accident

I was resently in a car accident that was a no-fault accident for the both myself and the other driver. During the incedent we did not call the police to get a report for insurance, and the other driver said she did not have her insurance info. with her so we exchanged names and numbers. I cannot get ahold of the other driver involved to get her to pay for the damage that I have recently noticed on my car. It has been over 10 days since the accident, will my insurance company still provide help, and will I be able to have the other driver pay for it when I cannot get ahold of the driver and I have no insurance info. to provide for my insurance company?

Re: car accident

You should be able to contact your insurance company to discuss this issue, and they should be able to assist you. However, any report to your insurance company may result in higher premiums.

Another alternative is to hire an attorney to pursue the property damage claim. If the claim is fairly small, you could also file a small claim lawsuit.

Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.
