P.S i cant go through insurance, cause the guy sped off, and my insurance is pretty crappy anyways so if i report it, it might end up skyrocketing my premium.

since it was a hit and run accident, you cna claim whatever you want. there is no one there to argue with what happened. the other person is automitically at fault in this case. hopefully you got a police report to prove this....go through insurance.
