My SIL was able to get the license number and a description of the car- it also helped that an acquaintance of the woman was directly behind her, and provided his eyewitness information of the incident to police.
The police find the woman intoxicated at her home. She denied driving that night and further denied even owning a car. THe police informed her that they had access to vehicle registration and that they did indeed know she was the driver AND owner of the car. She became extremely belligerent and ended up in the clink overnight- but was careful to shut her eyes and look down during the mug shot.
So, she will not provide her insurance information to my sis in law, who was very bruised and shaken and also extremely upset about her prized bike- she's a college student and worked hard to buy this road bike.
We know the woman works as a real estate agent, and think she perhaps might have been driving a company car. Should we call her work and ask? Is she required as a real estate agent to have insurance?
For the record, on her public circuit court records she's been sued umpteen times in various pissy civil suits, had foreclosure proceedings enacted twice, been sued twice before for personal injury by automobile. It almost looks like someone swoops in at the last minute during court proceedings and pays everybody off.

SO the questions- how can we legally find her insurance info? Should we call her at work? Or since she has such a crappy record of responsibility, do we just hire a bulldog lawyer and let the fur fly?

If anyone has an excellent automobile injury lawyer recommendation in Milwaukee WI, we'd love to hear it. Also, for the record, her auto insurance agency is only going to sue for medical bills, not pain and suffering or bike replacement costs.

The killer- she only received $700 in tickets. No obstruction of justice for lying to the cops and hiding the car (which has yet to be produced) and not even an investigation of whether she was intoxicated when she hit my SIL.

Welcome to justice in America.
