Great news! Hope that driver feels like an idiot.
So wait, your insurance company was about to pay out and raise your rates--without even knowing that this woman failed to report the "accident" in a timely manner and even broke the law? Sounds like it's time to go insurance shopping....
I think you're getting scammed. This reminds me of that big insurance fraud ring discovered up around Lawrence, MA some years back. Something like 300+ illegals, their lawyers and some chiropractors, etc. were staging car accidents, doing intentional damage and faking injuries to defraud...
