Your Own Auto Insurance May Protect You

If you were the victim of a hit-and-run car accident, it's important to know that your own auto insurance can help manage the costs associated with your accident. Hopefully you have Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage, which provides protection if the other driver is uninsured, underinsured, or not identified. It may even protect you if you were in a hit-and-run accident as a pedestrian or cyclist.

Dealing With Your Insurance Company

There are a few steps you should take after you're in a hit-and-run accident. Following these guidelines will give you the best chance of protecting your legal rights:

  1. Our first rule: Don't give a recorded statement or sign any papers until you speak to an attorney. This applies even when you're dealing with your own insurance company.
  2. Report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible. Because your insurance policy may cover your medical bills and other costs, it's critical to alert them about the hit-and-run accident.
  3. Remember that even though your insurance policy is intended to help you, your insurance company isn't always on your side. It's in your best interest to have an experienced injury attorney make sure you get all of the compensation you deserve.
