The police should have provided you with the other driver's information at the scene of the collision or at the hospital if you were taken away in an ambulance. If you were injured, I suggest that you consider hiring an auto accident lawyer where you live or where the collision occurred. Good luck with this matter.

You are entitled to collect money for your damages, including your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In Virginia you also may be able to collect punitive damages because the driver was driving while intoxicated. I would suggest you contact a lawyer to ensure you obtin the maximum compensation that you are entitled to under the law.
