I got actual quote for the sanding and paint whole front bumper and its been quoted out almost $800 + Tax. (won't pay this huge amount out of my pocket obviously)
I haven't open a claim yet because i didn't want to take chance to pay deductible and not finding a person responsible. My plan is hold the claim until police get back to me with hitter's information then will pass it over to my insurance company just to be safe.

is there anything wrong with my plan? is it neccesary to open a claim to get my money back even if police never get back to me yet?

Thanks.

I need some help on hit and run accident I parked my car at young and cummer coffee time parking lot for an hour then I found somebody hit my front left bumper and took off (mother eff er). Thanks god fully I had my dash cam running through the parking mode so i was able to find license plate number. Reported right to the collision centre + police and filled out the suspicious form and stuff. So what's going to happen next? Police will be calling me and provide me with their numbers or they're just summoning them to the court? IDK what would be the next step. and another thing I called insuran...
