Auto Accidents Law Answers
Do you mean the person hit was a drunk driver? If the drunk driver didn't take down information of the person who hit him, the driver who was at fault initially must contact or should contact his own insurance company. If the person hit a drunk driver, was it obvious the person was drunk? If so, how come the police were not called?
If the drunk driver doesn't have any information, and there is no way to check (i.e., review video of the area if security cameras were around), then I am not sure if there would be a way for the drunk driver to obtain the information of the other driver and vehicle.
