The g/f got rear-ended on a on/off ramp today. A truck driver pulled too far into the intersection, slammed it into reverse, pushed her backwards, then he took off. She wrote down all the info she could see, unfortunately she neglected to get the state of the license plate. She got the license plate, the truck number, & the name of the trucking co (QC Trucking, possibly with international thrown in there).
The only QC trucking we can find is located in Quebec, Pittsburgh PA is quite a ways from Quebec, though I suppose it's possible...
She's pretty sure he wasn't aware that he hit her, but his bumper is dented (so he will be).
Any suggestions would be appreciated, I know we have some truck drivers here.
[EDIT]She located the company (LINK), & they have asked her to get repair quotes. She's gotten one quote thus far, for $780 and change. I think this is low for the damage she has described. She hasn't sent me pictures, but from what she's told me I think she's going to need a new hood, front bumper, & right fender, plus the usual assortment of lights, turn signals, etc.
1) They have only asked for one quote, how can she make sure she gets enough? She is likely going to repair the car. I told her to make sure they quote a re-paint, given the age of the vehicle matching the paint is going to be difficult.
2) What are the odds they'll just give her an arbitrary amount if she asks for it (rather than giving them a quote)? I'm not talking exorbitant amounts here, maybe $2,000 to make sure she gets everything repaired to her satisfaction.
Anything else we need to watch for?[/EDIT]
