Hit-and-Run refers to an auto accident where a vehicle collides with another vehicle, property, or person, and the responsible driver leaves the scene without providing their contact information or offering assistance. Hit-and-run accidents can occur on roads, parking lots, or private property. This leaves the victim without financial recourse for damages caused by the perpetrator.
When you’re involved in a vehicle collision and the other driver takes off without exchanging insurance information, this is commonly referred to as a hit-and-run. Review the following guidance to understand what information to collect and who to contact following a hit-and-run incident.
In a car accident, identifying the other driver isn’t always possible, especially in hit-and-run situations which can escalate beyond mere vehicle damage to serious injuries for you or passengers, or even pedestrian accidents. Such uncertainties highlight the importance of being prepared.
