[quote=Anonymous]I posted here earlier this month of being the victim of road rage while driving home with my two kids.  The post can be found here http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/642145.page

Well a couple of things have occurred.  First the wacko who chased us has filed a report with the DC police claiming that I hit him.  He also had his insurance company contact mine to make a claim.  He is claiming $2,600 of damage and saying his entire front bumper was ripped off during the incident.  After an investigation by my insurance company, including my clearly undamaged car, the claim has been denied.

The other issue is I received a letter from the hit and run unit of the DC police saying I have to report to their office in two weeks.  It is not a court appearance.  They just want me to show up with my car, license, and insurance card.  I imagine they would want to hear my side of the story and inspect my car.  This is a major inconvenience as I do not live in DC.  I tried contacting the office through phone calls and email, but I get no response.  I have sent them photos of my car, a record of the 911 call that we made during the incident, a description of what unfolded that evening, and a contact and phone number for my insurance company.

I guess at this point, I have to go there.  My question is, should I get a lawyer, or is that overkill?

Thanks for any sound advice you can offer![/quote]
