So here's the readers digest version of a developing soap opera...
* Wife and son were rear-ended and other party (a minor) fled scene
* Witnesses followed and reported to police
* Police located driver...issued fleeing scene and following too closely tickets and impounded vehicle
* Police report contains insurance info, but that particular company says the coverage lapsed
* Our insurance is taking care of repairs to car and doc bills, but we are having to pay for rental car out-of-pocket (financial burden, plus wife gets paid hourly and has missed a few days due to accident)
* Next steps? Could their insurance company be protecting their client? If truly uninsured, does this become a legal matter right away, or should we wait for further direction from our insurance company?
As always, thanks for the help!
