Hit and run at HDB carpark. Advice needed.

[Beng2]

Dear all,

Found my car front portion badly damaged this morning, apparently hit by a blue lorry - from the blue paint left behind and account of an eyewitness seeing a blue lorry (number known) parked beside my car before it got hit.

 

Police officers who came to check classify it as hit and run case. Gave me a report number and asked me to lodge a report.

 

Now, how do I proceed from here? Contact AIG and get the car towed to agent on Monday?

Hire a lawyer?

 

I intend to put little strips of paper on the windscreen of cars parked around there to appeal for a witness. Some aunties whom I spoke to claim that there were people washing their cars nearby and saw the whole thing.

 

My car was parked beside a tree, very near to the curb to give more space to the car beside me. Still kanna hit.

if u hv a mechanic best is consult him what to do. some mechanic will makan the case for u, fight for u etc w/o involving ur NCB. of cos they will rip profit fr this action as usual.

 

since u got witness, the lawyer can then act to summon both the lorry owner and the driver for u/ ur mech.

 

of cos the other action is thru ur insurance but i doubt they will act in such case. ie u hv to seek legal recourse urself unless u r claiming against urself for the damage. the weightage for this is $500 being the excess payable. any damage costing under $1K is not worth risking ur NCB.
