We are often asked, ‘What happens if the other driver leaves the scene of the accident?’ It is important to immediately report the accident and give the investigating officers any descriptions of the vehicle, including the license plate number or any identifying marks or names on the vehicle. Next, it’s important to secure the names, addresses, and phone numbers of any witnesses to the accident. However, if the other vehicle cannot be located, you may be able to pursue a claim for compensation under your uninsured motorist provision of your insurance policy. Oftentimes, you must prove actual contact with the hit-and-run driver or have an independent witness verify the accident. At NST, we understand insurance law and we can help guide you through these types of claims to help you get paid for your injuries.
