Can I still file a claim if I didn’t call the police after my accident?
Yes, you can still file a claim but it becomes harder.
Did you get the other driver’s license, insurance, phone number, and license plate? Because without a police report, these are the things you are going to need in order to file a claim when there is no report. It is now your word against theirs. However, dashcam footage, witness statements, videos and photos can help.
I have successfully handled many cases without police reports throughout the past 21+ years.
The key is acting fast to preserve whatever evidence does exist.
