Our car was nicked in the parking lot by a pizza delivery car | Forum

We live in a smaller town and our car was nicked in the parking lot by a
pizza delivery car, we saw it happen(and heard it even) as we were
coming out of the grocery store supermarket, and we could see the name
of the pizza place on top of the car. And we know the place, So what do
we do now? Do we file? a police report and make them go investigate who
at was actually driving at the time. We didn't really look at the car
very much, but we can see the white thing they put on top of the car
with the name of the pizza place. And there's only one location in the
town with that place. And we know it. So it has to be whoever was
driving in that area at the time. This happened last night, but now how
do we best handle that? Or do we just report it to our insurer and let
them do it? Or what did we really do in this situation?

You can report it to your insurer and just let them do the investigation, or you may also file a police report with all information that you have if you think it was basically a hit and run or unreported accident.

That’s a tough spot to be in. I had a similar situation where my car got scratched in a parking lot by a delivery vehicle, and we saw the whole thing. We ended up filing a police report and notified our insurance. The police might not investigate deeply if it's just a minor accident, but having a report can be useful.Reporting it to your insurer is a good step since they'll handle the claim and deal with the pizza place’s insurance. They might also help you get in touch with the delivery service. If you’re worried about how to handle it, you might want to check out flinjurylawattorney.com for some advice. They helped me with a claim a while back, and it made the process smoother.
