I hate hit and runs. Tell your friend to be on the lookout for subpeonas to appear as a witness. They will cite the offender and list him as a suspect but they'll also look for witness testimony. They can have the video but at trial and for depositions ( If he's habitual , depending on your areas traffic division) . If your friend misses a date the defense is just waiting for any opportunity or excuse to drop charges. It won't affect the insurance outcome but you want that bastard to pay since mom is footing the insurance anyway.
