How Can I Pursue Legal Action After a Hit and Run Accident?
How can I pursue legal action after a hit-and-run accident? A hit-and-run accident is when someone hits your car and then flees the scene of the accident. Treat this just like any other accident, and that means call the police and report it. Give a description to the police. Sometimes they can even track down that car through auto body repair shops or hospitals and find out who caused the accident. But even if they can’t, if you carry uninsured motorist coverage, you can present a claim just like you would any other car accident, but only if you have uninsured motorist coverage. Make sure you carry that coverage. If you have an insurance agent that tells you you don’t need that coverage, I would fire them, because that is one of the most important coverages you can have. If you’ve been involved in a hit-and-run accident and would like more information, this is what we do. The Law Office of Marc Shapiro is here to help.
