If you believe that the defendant in your hit and run accident was a state or municipal government worker, make sure to tell law enforcement and your attorney immediately. This is because most agencies have strong record-keeping requirements for vehicle damage and, even if the defendant driver did not record it, most agencies regularly inspect their vehicles for damage. This means that the defendant driver is not always the only person using or inspecting the vehicle. There may be agency documents which demonstrate the damage to the vehicle that can corroborate your claim.
