So I got into a car accident last night on the 405 south in Cali...First accident of my life, and it wasn't my fault.
I was with my girl driving (a camry beige) in our lane, when this suv (dodge black), approached from behind us and try to merge right (from the left) in our lane and just sent our side mirrors flying and had some minor paint scratches on our car....
after we both pulled to the side, dude basically said, you guys were in my blind spot, i totally didn't see you guys...I was like, okay, let's exchange information, and he admitted that it was his fault, gave us the information, and said contact my insurance and they should take care of this if not, then give me a call....
So today we called his insurance but to do a claim they have to check with him first, and it'll take maybe up to 3 days, and i can't be driving around with no side mirrors for that long cuz it's hella dangerous....so i try to hit him up to be like, can u call ur insurance and speed up the process....the number didn't even go through....it would ring but then just a message saying that the number was not right....so basically, I'm trying to see if he screwed me and if i should/can even go to the police?
Cliffs
-car accident, left side mirror gone
-guy admitted fault, exchanged info, phony #?
-what should i do now? police? or wait for his insurance.
