While it may seem unreal to most of us that someone could hit another car and drive away, it happens more than you think. In some cities, hit and run accident can make up a quarter of all accidents reported. The most common hit and run accidents happen in parking lots when one car hits another parked one. It can be aggravating to come out to your vehicle and see damage done with no one around and no note on how to contact the perpetrator. However, this is nothing compared to hit and run accidents when a driver flees and leaves behind someone with a personal injury. Identifying the fleeing driver obviously requires witnesses. If you’re lucky, you may get a partial license plate number as well as the make and model of the car. Then you can hope that the authorities can track down the person who hit you. More than a few people have been caught after they were chased down by witnesses or the victim, something you should not do. Other times the person is caught when they bring in their own car for repairs. Not all or even most hit and run accidents are ever solved. Police forensic science is good, but it isn’t CSI: Miami, and many of these cases take weeks or months to solve. Furthermore, they never really show the victim trying to deal with their insurance, finding a new way on getting to and from work, or figuring out how to pay medical bills. Recovering Damages It can be difficult to recover damages in a hit and run accident. If the person who hit you is never identified, there is no way to recover damages from them. Also, there is a good chance that the person fled because they didn’t have insurance in the first place, or was driving under the influence. Recovering damages from underinsured or uninsured motorists can be difficult enough even if they stay. The best thing you can do is make sure you are covered by your own insurance for under- or uninsured drivers. If this is the case, you may be covered for medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. If you are not, then it is important you contact an experienced hit and run lawyer to get the compensation you deserve.
