Will it bring him up no matter what, or only if he has convictions/owns land?

Quote: My strong advice is to let your insurance company handle it from here.
That's what I want, but it looks like if I leave it up to them I'm gonna pay the deductible and get screwed.

It should. If he pays taxes or votes, it should have him.

Whenever I've been hit like that, all I do is call my insurance company and give them the license plate number of the car that hit me. I never deal with the other person myself. I do not have time for such nonsense. I have AllState, and they have always been very ferocious in going after the other person. I've never had to deal with it though. That's why you pay them!

Quote: I know the guy's name and his insurance carrier. At least I know what insurance he SAID he has.
Then you're set. Call the claims office for that company and see if he has a valid policy for the car that hit you.

Quote: Before I write this post I want to admit that the entire reason that this thread even had to start was because I was a dumbass and I didn't get the other party's information at the scene of the crash. Yes, the other driver is being a ******, but it could have been avoided if I was on top of everything when the crash occured. Now, there's no reason for us to go into that. It was my fault and I learned my lesson. Now...

My insurance is having a problem getting this guy's info. THey keep calling the dad and the dad is dodging their calls, or picking up and saying he'll call them back. Lol. All I have is their names (dad, driver (son) and the daughter) and the phone numbers for the dad and daughter (cell phones) and I know where the dad works. Short of following him home from work (which I can do on Monday if needed) how can I use the info I have to get the info that I need (address/insurance info)? Can I have an attorney subpoena his personal info from the school that he works at? Any tips would help. If I can't get any info by Monday I'll just have to figure it out the hard way.

Thanks.
What you need to do is send him the letter i forwarded to you to his job. That will embarrass him and force him to cooperate. Send it both via regular mail and Certified mail.

I'm currently on the phone with Mercury Insurance and we're trying to figure out who he is. They have several people with that name in California.
