Getting into a car accident can be very frustrating, scary, and a major inconvenience. But what happens if the driver that collided with you leaves the scene in a hit and run?
Check Your Policy
Read your policy documents to see which coverage is at-fault and no-fault. In the case of a hit and run, no one will be considered at-fault and your insurance will have to kick-in.
Typically your insurance policy will cover a hit and run through the collision and underinsured/uninsured coverage. These types of coverages are considered no-fault coverage. These coverages will reimburse you for any damages caused and medical expenses.
What To Do After a Hit & Run
If you happen to be in a hit and run accident, follow these steps:
- Call the police
- Recall as many details of the other driver as possible
- Record damages
- Contact your insurance company
Give as much detail as possible to your insurance agency and the police, for the police report. Speak to your agent about your policy and file a claim, or if there is anything specific you need to do.
