26 Aug Been in a Hit and Run Accident? Here’s What to Do Next
If you’ve been in a hit and run accident, you may be feeling angry, frustrated, and helpless. Without the person who caused the accident on hand, it can be difficult to track them down. But there are steps you can take to try to track down the other driver and get the compensation you deserve. Read on to find out what to do if you’ve been in a hit and run.
- Report the accident to the police.
If you’ve been in a hit and run, the first thing you should do is report the accident to the police. This will help create a record of the accident and may help the police track down the other driver. Be sure to give them as much information about the other driver as you can, such as a description of the car and the license plate number.
- Call your insurance company.
Your next step should be to call your insurance company. Your insurer will likely have a procedure in place for hit and run accidents. They may require you to file a police report before they process your claim. Be sure to ask about this when you call.
- Gather evidence.
If you have any evidence of the accident, such as photos or witnesses, be sure to gather this before you file your claim. This will help your insurance company process your claim more quickly.
- File a claim with your insurance company.
Once you’ve gathered all the evidence you need, you can file a claim with your insurance company. Be sure to include all the evidence you have, as well as any information about the other driver that you have. Your insurer will then begin the process of investigating the accident and working to get you compensated.
