So, my boyfriend got into an accident on November 30th. He was making a left turn and had a green light and as he was turning, another car ran a red light and hit the side of his car where the tire is. Now his tire is indented inwards and something inside must have been broken because there was water everywhere around his car.
At the scene, the guy, of course admitted fault to running the red light because his brake lights came on earlier and he could not stop. They exchanged insurance and then called the police. The police filed a report and had a tow truck come to to my boyfriends car along with the other driver (I assume because his brake lights were on?).
Anyway, long story.. but it's been over a month now and my boyfriend has been calling the adjuster to get an update but she keeps informing us that the other driver has not given a statement. She says that every time she does get in contact he is not in the right place to give a statement. My boyfriend is 18 and we have classes starting next week. He has not gotten a rental because we can not afford it. He only had liability on the car so there's that. What are our options? Do we just wait it out? How long can these things take? She also stated that after a certain amount of time they can close the case.. What are my options? I'm really concerned that this guy is going to get off scot free and us being stuck with no car.
Any advice? Has anyone been in the same situation and gotten the matter solved?
