Uhhh, Jimmy, I'm not sure how they do things in Miss., but if I were you I'd
call the Officer that responded to your accident and tell him the other
driver provided false information. Most states, thats a crime, and a lot of
places put a pretty hefty fine on un-insured motorists lying about their
'coverage'.
Did he provide you with insurance Comp info.? If so, call that company and
report that he is falsely using them as his insurance carrier. Insurance
companies are in the business of liability, and they don't want anyone
putting claims on them if they are not getting paid. Also report the fact to
your insurance company, most would rather pay a lawyer to go after the guy
to try and recover costs, even if they still have to pay your costs up
front.
Once you've talked to the officer who was at your accident, and get the
low-down on how Miss. handles this type of thing, then yes, call his
Sheriff's Dept. and report this to the Sheriff, not to a deputy, but right
to the boss.
Don't take this s**t lying down, that is what the guy is counting on. Bust
his balls, you've got the law on your side (assuming of course, your wife
had no fault assigned to her, in the accident?)
Good Luck,
Duff

Well, my turn! I am kinda new to the DML, but have been watching and
learning allot from you guys. Thanks for all the info from everyone! I am a
bit pissed today. My Wife drives a 99 LHS, Sweet Car, 3.5 HO hauls. Well
needless to say some dumb @55 hit her today and lied about having insurance,
which I think got him off easy with the Officer. I am sure at least one
ticket could have been written. But he got off Scot free and now we have
damaged goods. I wish the Law would enforce insurance on everyone. If you
drive, you have to pay like the rest of us. I am fully covered and all that,
but we suffer the inconvenience of his neglect. Not to mention, he was
wearing a damn badge for a neighboring county sheriffs dept. Damage is
estimated to be around $2,300.00. I intend to discuss this with the
Sheriff's dept. he was representing and make sure they are aware of the type
of representation they are getting through this guy. Ok, whew, got that off
my chest. Thanks for listening, or not! hehe.
