I was the victim of a hit-and-run in an apartment parking lot. My car is scratched, and the bumper area is severely damaged. There are some vehicles nearby equipped with dashcams, but my own vehicle does not have one, so I have not been able to identify the culprit. For an apartment parking lot hit-and-run case, is there no choice but to report it to the police and wait?

Due to the nature of an apartment parking lot as an enclosed space, a hit-and-run accident there often lacks witnesses.
In addition, for reasons such as the absence of a dashcam or CCTV blind spots, it is often difficult to identify the vehicle at fault.
However, that does not mean you can simply wait indefinitely.
First, it is advisable to specify the estimated time frame of the accident to the apartment management office and to request and secure CCTV footage from around the scene.
Checking the CCTV footage for each expected route, such as the common entrance, the access road, the vehicle entrance, the garbage area, and the elevator, is essential.
In addition, there is a high possibility that the scene at the time of the accident was captured by the dashcam of a vehicle parked nearby.
Therefore, you should request the dashcam footage from neighboring vehicles and secure and analyze the video.
In addition, if you collect vehicle debris or paint traces left at the scene of the apartment parking lot hit-and-run, you can estimate the manufacturer or color of the vehicle at fault, which may be of practical help to the investigation.
However, such examination of evidence may be too much for an ordinary person to carry out alone.
In addition, even when evidence has been secured, there may be legal difficulties in proving the other party's liability.
The outcome of an apartment parking lot hit-and-run case can vary depending on how the evidence is gathered.
Therefore, it seems wise to seek help from an expert or an attorney regarding the examination of evidence in an apartment parking lot hit-and-run case.
