Injured by a Hit and Run Driver?If you or a loved one has been injured in a hit and run auto accident, you may want to speak with an personal injury attorney who is experienced in handling hit and run claims. Hit and run accidents can be especially upsetting for the victims involved. Sadly, about 11% of auto accidents involve a hit and run vehicle. A hit and run is defined as a person’s failure to stop after an accident, which injures another person or causes damage to personal property. In most states, parties are required by law to stop and exchange information after an accident has occurred. Failure to stop after a hit and run accident constitutes a serious offense. Penalties for such actions can include fines, suspended license or jail. A hit and run accident should still be handled like any other accident. Victims of a hit and run accident must notify police and any information collected about the hit and run vehicle or driver should be included in the police report. Speaking with witnesses is particularly important to determine if they have any relevant information to help identify the hit and run driver or vehicle. It is important to notify your insurance company as soon as possible after the hit and run accident occurred. Even if the hit and run driver is never apprehended, your insurance may still provide compensation. Several insurance policies provide coverage for accidents that involve a hit and run driver. Insurance compensation for hit and run driver is often included in uninsured motorist coverage.
