When the at-fault driver flees, you still have options for compensation.
At the Scene
Call 911, get medical care, and gather whatever details you can — partial plates, vehicle description, witness contacts. Every detail helps.
Reporting Promptly
Report the hit-and-run to police and your insurer quickly. Delays can jeopardize coverage.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Your UM coverage is designed for exactly this situation and can compensate you when the fleeing driver isn't identified.
Why Legal Help Matters
UM claims are filed against your own insurer, who may still resist paying full value. An attorney protects your interests.
