A hit and run accident occurs when someone
causes or contributes to an accident and flees the scene without stopping by.
If you have been injured in a hit and run accident, you may be wondering who will
pay for the damages. In most cases, the negligent driver is liable for any
injuries and damages. However, if the hit and run driver cannot be found, your
own car insurance policy may be the only source of compensation. You can
recover compensation through the following coverage:
Uninsured
motorist coverage
This covers you for injuries you received
from a hit and run accident in which the driver involved is uninsured or cannot
be found following the accident. The insurance company considers this coverage
just as a normal liability claim. You will, therefore, need to prove the
following:
·
The other party’s liability
·
The extent of your contribution
to the accident
·
The extent of your injuries
·
Damages
Personal
Injury Protection (PIP) coverage
This coverage is typically available in
no-fault states. This coverage covers medical expenses, as well as lost wages
or funeral expenses, regardless of who was at fault in the car accident. This
coverage does not cover pain and suffering damages or vehicle damages.
Collision
coverage
This coverage allows you to make a claim
for vehicle repairs, regardless of who was at fault for the accident. A hit and
run accident victim can also file a claim for vehicle damage against his/ her
own policy under collision coverage.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was returning from the airport, a bus hit me and sped off. I was badly injured and underwent a surgery on my neck. I have cc footage of the incident, as well as the number of the bus. Can someone inform me of the steps I need to take to claim my compensation?
ReplyDelete"If you or a loved one is involved in a hit and run you should take the following steps following the incident:
DeleteIf possible, get the license plate number of the driver.
File a police report (this is extremely important).
If your injuries are not visible, be sure to communicate any pain you may be experiencing to the officer collecting information.
New York Residents, report the crash to Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corporation/DMV.
